Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2⅓ cups heavy cream (divided)
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2-3 waffle cones (crushed)
  • ⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)

Instructions

To make the chocolate covered waffle cone pieces

  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt ⅓ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Crush up the waffle cones into small pieces and place them in the melted chocolate. Mix until all of the waffle cone pieces are fully coated in chocolate.
  • Pour the coated pieces on to a plate or pan lined with parchment paper. Spread out the pieces as much as possible, then place them in the fridge so that the chocolate hardens.

To make the fudge swirl

  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat ⅓ cup of heavy cream until almost boiling (30-45 seconds).
  • Pour ⅓ cup of chocolate chips in the heated cream and stir until the mixture is smooth and there are no chunks of chocolate remaining. If needed, return the mixture to the microwave for 10-15 seconds and stir until it is smooth.
  • Set it aside to cool for 10-15 minutes while you make the vanilla ice cream base.

To make the vanilla ice cream base and assemble the waffle cone ice cream

  • Use a hand mixer (and a large mixing bowl) or a stand mixer to whip the heavy cream (2 cups) until stiff peaks form.
  • Add the can of sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream and mix/fold it gently until the two ingredients are completely combined.
  • Remove the chocolate coated waffle cone pieces from the fridge and break them apart as much as possible so that the pieces aren't sticking together.
  • Add the waffle cone pieces to the ice cream and gently stir them in to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into your final storage container (whether that is a 7 cup pyrex, loaf pan or multiple smaller containers).
  • Spoon the fudge evenly throughout the ice cream, then use a butter knife to swirl the fudge. Be sure not to swirl too much as to mix it in with the ice cream. We want those nice thick swirls!
  • Cover and place the ice cream in the freezer for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
