Chocolate-Dipped Ice Cream Cones With Peanuts

Step 1

Combine chocolate and oil in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Drizzle 1 Tbsp. chocolate into each cone, tilting and turning cone as you drizzle to evenly coat the inside. Shake cones upside down above bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip back into bowl; set leftover chocolate aside. Stand cones in narrow freezer-safe glasses to hold them upright. Freeze until chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Working one at a time, remove cone from freezer and fill with ice cream, packing gently. Make a rounded scoop at top of cone, pressing down lightly to make sure it is well attached. Set cone back in glass; repeat with remaining cones. Freeze again until firm, at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

If reserved chocolate has thickened, briefly reheat in microwave to loosen. Working one at a time, quickly dip ice cream end of cone into chocolate, turning to coat and making sure ice cream is fully covered. Carefully rotate cone, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into bowl. Immediately sprinkle with peanuts and freeze again until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes.
