Grab 6 glasses for your cones to stand in, along with a few bowls and your favorite ice cream, filling (caramel or fudge sauce etc.), and toppings. I made super traditional caramel-filled drumsticks with crushed peanuts, however I’ve made raspberry cheesecake ones (dipped with white chocolate and coated in graham cracker crumbs), and they were amazing! Don’t be afraid to get creative, or use whatever you have on hand.

Once you’ve got the cones dipped and the toppings on, make sure you give them a good 15 minutes (30 is preferable) in the freezer before enjoying them. That will allow the softened ice cream to firm up and the “magic shell” to set. Serve these up on a hot summer day and they’ll be gone in no time. These homemade drumsticks are sure to become a family favorite!
