Ice Cream Cone Minions
How cool are these Minion Ice Cream Cones?
I mean, really?
Not only are they insanely cute, but they taste like Banana Laffy Taffy. Yum!I laughed until my stomach hurt the first time I saw the Minions fighting over a banana, so I just had to use banana ice cream for my Minions.
Of course, I realize some of you would never fight over a banana. So, for those of you with an aversion to bananas, you can make your ice cream any flavor you’d like. Perhaps you’d prefer lemon, mango, or even just plain vanilla. You can even divide up your batch of ice cream and make several different flavors if you have a family who can’t agree on just one.
Just be sure your ice cream is colored yellow unless you want to get crazy and make some purple minions.
The ice cream will take less than 5 minutes to make, then once it’s in the freezer you can make all the decorations.I’m not going to lie, making these modeling chocolate decorations for the Minion Ice Cream Cones was time consuming. They look so cool this way, but I’ve created an easier alternative too.
The decorations on the minion ice cream cone above are made out of vanilla and chocolate taffy rolls. They don’t look quite as realistic, but will sure save some time.I’ll show you how to make both in the tutorial below.
Banana Ice Cream Cone Minions
Ingredients:
No Churn Banana Ice Cream-
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 Dram Lorann-Banana Cream Flavor
yellow food coloring
1 (14 ounce) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
Decorations-
5 blue ice cream cones (Joy, Color Cone Cups
)
4 ounces white modeling chocolate*
10 black sugar pearls (edible candy beads)
optional, silver luster dust
black food coloring
*Find my modeling chocolate recipe on my Chocolate Making Tips Page.
Alternative Decorations-
5 vanilla taffy rolls
5 chocolate taffy rolls
10 black sugar pearls
Supplies Needed:
set of round plunger cutters
food use only paint brushes
clear piping gel
clay extruder
Instructions:
Add the sweetened condensed milk and beat just to combine.Place in a freezer safe container and freeze for at least 3 hours.
Return to freezer until ready to serve. Repeat decorating all your cones.You can store your decorated Ice Cream Cone Minions in the freezer, just be aware that after about 8 hours, the cones lose their crunch. I’ve had a few of my Minions in the freezer for a few days and the modeling chocolate goggles are still intact, but the cones are a bit soggy.
I hope you have fun making these and be sure to let me know how your kids react!
Embrace the beautiful weather that we are having and make some of these gorgeous and scrumptious Summer Fun Recipes.
they really are so cute Beth! loving all your ice cream cone creations!!
Thanks, Michelle. I'm sure having fun making them and am happy you like them!
woohoo! the kids are definitely going to go bananas over these!!! 🙂
Thanks, Lisa. I gave my Minions to a friend and her children thought they were the coolest thing ever!
Wow! You are so clever. I love all the various uses you have published for ice cream cups.
You are very talented.
That's so nice of you to say. Thanks:)
Love these, such a genius idea. Am sure there will be worldwide minion ice cream cone domination due to this post.
LOL! Thanks, Linda.
Probably one of the cutest things I have ever seen!!! We will for sure be making these!! How do you keep your ice cream so frozen and perfect looking – ours always gets so melty LOL!!! Beth, you are a genius – thanks for the easier version too. 🙂
The trick to keeping my ice cream looking frozen is to have the air conditioner cranked up! We keep it between 68 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit in the house at all times. Ever since I moved my chocolate making kitchen into my home, it's a necessity. I know that is way too cold for most people, but after so many years of living in a cold house, I'm used to it.
This is probably one of the most amazing ice creams I have ever seen! You are a genius! My kids will probably love it but looks impossible for doing this in my kitchen. I am not that good there. 🙁
These Minions were really fun to make, but I do realize they are not the easiest of ice cream cones to create. I do hope you give some of the easier ones a try!
They are so sweet! You've done great job, Beth!
Thanks so much, Mirranda:)
Just when I thought I had seen a minion in every way, shape and form, here you come up with the cutest thing yet!
I did push the envelope with this idea, but it turned out so great, that I'm glad I did.
Me too! I keep seeing previews and am very excited to head to the theater for a good laugh.
These are adorable! My nephews and niece are here visiting, they would love these!
Oh, I remember when my nieces and nephews would visit when they were kids and we'd play around in the kitchen. They are all grown now and I miss hanging out with them. Enjoy your time with the kids!
Oh my gosh Beth!! I'm gonna try not to gush..but I LOVE these little minion cones! I would fight for these banana cuties any day. I have yet to come up with a minion craft but I'm sure having fun seeing all the creative ones you and other bloggers keep dreaming up. Awesome. 🙂
You can gush if you want to!!! I'm glad you like my minions as much as I do:)
These are so adorable. I don't have kids to make them for, but you've inspired me to get creative and doll up my next batch of ice cream!! Happy 4th!
I'm happy to have inspired you to have some fun in the kitchen:)
