Take note
Be careful when handling hot ingredients and working with sharp objects.

1

Make the ice cream base

In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a simmer, stirring occasionally. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks. Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

2

Chill the ice cream base

Once the ice cream base has cooled, cover it with plastic wrap, ensuring the plastic touches the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to develop and the base to fully chill.

3

Prepare your fish-shaped cone molds

To create your fish-shaped cones, you'll need cone molds in the shape of fish. If you don't have fish-shaped molds, you can try shaping regular cones into fish shapes using your imagination! Set the molds on a flat surface and be ready to start shaping your cones.

4

Shape the cones

Take a freshly baked and cooled cone (or a pre-made one) and gently press and bend it in the middle to create a fish-like shape. If it doesn't hold its shape, you can use some melted chocolate as glue to hold it together. Let the chocolate set completely before proceeding.

5

Fill the fish-shaped cones

Once your cones are shaped and sturdy, it's time to fill them with your homemade ice cream! Take the chilled ice cream base and pour it into an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions. Once the ice cream is ready, use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to fill each fish-shaped cone with the ice cream.

6

Serve and enjoy

Now comes the best part - serving and enjoying your fish-shaped ice cream cones! Add some colorful sprinkles or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for some extra pizzazz. Dive into your whimsical creation and watch as your guests are left in awe!
