Ingredients
Scale
Cones and Chocolate
- 6 sugar cones
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother dipping)
Fruit Filling
- 2 cups mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mango, grapes)
Optional Toppings
- 1/2 cup whipped cream or vanilla yogurt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sprinkles or shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Cones: Dip the rims of the sugar cones into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the cones upright in a cup or cone stand and let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until firm.
- Prepare Fruit: While the chocolate sets, wash and chop the mixed fresh fruits into bite-sized pieces, ready for filling.
- Fill Cones: Once the chocolate has set, spoon a little whipped cream or vanilla yogurt into the bottom of each cone, if using, then fill the cones generously with the prepared mixed fruit.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the tops with an extra dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of melted chocolate, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut or sprinkles if desired. Serve the cones immediately for the best texture and freshness.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut whipped cream or omit whipped cream entirely.
- These cones are perfect for parties, picnics, or kid-friendly snacks.
- You can prep and chop the fruit ahead of time, but fill the cones just before serving to prevent sogginess.
