    Scoop some super creamy, decadently rich, Chocolate Cashew Milk Ice Cream onto a cake cone and use candy to create these adorable puppies. Your kids will beg for more.

    Chocolate cashew milk ice cream cone puppies decorated using candy.

     

    What's summer without ice cream?

    Well, if you are lactose intolerant summer can be devoid of the cold creamy dessert unless you find dairy-free alternatives like cashew milk ice cream.

    Now I've had store-bought dairy-free ice cream before, but until I made a batch of this chocolate ice cream at home using Silk Chocolate Cashew Milk, I never knew just how amazing it can taste.

    The milk is really thick and creamy and packed with chocolate flavor. It made the perfect base for homemade dairy-free ice cream.

    Serve up some fun this summer by making these cute Puppy Ice Cream Cones. Instructions at HungryHappenings.com

    I've been having so much fun making homemade ice cream and using it to make fun ice cream cones. So far I've made:

    • Pink Bubble Gum Ice Cream Cone Pigs
    • Orange Ice Cream Cone Goldfish
    • Vanilla Custard Ice Cream Cone Panda Bears
    • Banana Ice Cream Cone Minions
    • Toasted Coconut Cheesecake Ice Cream Cone Polar Bears
    • Cotton Candy Ice Cream Cone Cookie Monster
    • Chocolate Ice Cream Cone Monkeys
    • Cocoa Banana Ice Cream Cone Turkeys

    I am so excited to share these adorable Chocolate Cashew Milk Ice Cream Puppies.

    Treat your kids to a cool summer treat. These Double Chocolate Ice Cream Cone Puppies will have them begging for more. Recipe from HungryHappenings.com

    To make my puppy ice cream cones, I went the easy route and used some store-bought candies that were not dairy-free.

    If you are on a strictly dairy-free diet, you can make modeling chocolate using dairy-free chocolate to use to create your decorations. It's a little more work, but it's a great alternative.

    This recipe for homemade chocolate cashew milk ice cream produces a velvety smooth, rich and creamy dessert.

    Make chocolate cashew milk ice cream.

    To make the ice cream you'll make a basic custard recipe using egg yolks, sugar, and cashew milk then freeze it.

    Ingredients:

    6 egg yolks
    ½ cup granulated sugar
    2 ¼ cups Silk Chocolate Cashew Milk
    4 ounces finely chopped dairy-free dark chocolate

    • Start by whisking the egg yolks and sugar until they turn pale yellow.
      • To test if they are ready, you want to lift the whisk and allow the eggs to fall back into the bowl in a ribbon that very slowly dissolves.

    Silk Chocolate Cashew Milk Ice Cream Recipe

    • Heat the cashew milk over medium heat just until bubbles form around the edge.
    • Remove from the heat and to intensify the chocolate flavor, add 4 ounces of dairy-free dark chocolate.
    • Let rest for 3 minutes then stir until melted.
      • If you want to save the calories, you can leave out the chocolate, but it really makes this a truly decadent frozen dessert.

    Easy homemade dairy free ice cream made using Silk Chocolate Cashew Milk is as rich and creamy as ice cream made with cream.

    • Whisk about ¼ cup of the hot chocolate milk into the eggs, then continue whisking while you slowly pour in the remaining milk.
    • Pour everything back into the saucepan and set over medium heat.
    • Constantly stir until thickened.

    There are two ways to check if the custard is ready.

    • First, you can use a thermometer and heat until it reaches 180 - 185 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • Second, you can coat a spoon or spatula with the custard, draw your finger through it (be careful it's hot) and if it holds its shape then it's ready. If not, keep stirring and try again.

    How to make homemade chocolate cashew milk ice cream. It's amazing! Recipe at HungryHappenings.com

    • To ensure there are no cooked eggs in your custard, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl or shallow pan.
    • Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
    • Pour the chilled custard into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions to make the ice cream.

    Quick freeze method.

    • Pour about â…“rd of the custard into a shallow pan and freezer that portion of the custard for 30 minutes.
    • Then place the rest of the custard in the refrigerator.
    • After 30 minutes combine the two and pour it into your ice cream maker and let it do its job.

    Yum! This double chocolate cashew milk ice cream is so rich and creamy, you won't ever guess it's dairy free.

    After about 25 minutes, the ice cream will be ready to eat.

    If you want to make puppies though, you'll need to wait a little longer.

    • Scoop the ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm. This will take a few hours.

    How to make ears and a tongue for puppy ice cream cones.

    Candy ears and tongue.

    While you are waiting, you can get your decorations made.

    • To make the puppies ears, flatten out chocolate candy rolls or roll out some modeling chocolate.
    • Use a 1 ¾ inch teardrop cutter or kitchen shears to cut out each ear.
    • To make it really easy to attach them to the ice cream you need to elongate the pointed end and curve it around something like a cutting board. That way you can just insert them into the top of the ice cream scoop.
    • For the tongues roll out some red candy or modeling chocolate and cut ¾ inch teardrops.
    • Stretch out the pointed end and use a toothpick to add the line down the middle.

    How to make spotted dog ears out of candies for an Ice Cream Cone Puppy.

    Candy Spots

    • For some added fun, you can use white candy to make the ears and add chocolate candy spots.
    • Roll out the chocolate candy rolls and cut out some small round dots using plunger cutters or metal cutters.
    • Brush the backside of each spot with a very light coating of water, then press onto the white ear.
    • You can also put a spot around the eye, by attaching a candy eye to a white candy spot.

    scoop chocolate cashew milk ice cream onto a sugar cone then add candy eyes, nose, ears, and tongue to create adorable puppies

     

    Decorate the ice cream cones.

    • When the ice cream is firm enough to scoop, fill an ice cream cone with some ice cream, then add a nice rounded scoop on top. I get really nicely shaped scoops by using a large #16 ice cream scoop.
    • Add a smaller scoop (using a #70 mini scoop) at the base of the bigger scoop. This makes the dog's snout.
    • Pop the ice cream cone in the freezer and make 2 more cones. You'll have a little ice cream leftover, but I know you're going to want to eat some while you are working, so go ahead and enjoy a little snack.
    • After the cones chill out in the freezer for about 10 minutes, you are ready to decorate them one by one.
    • Add a chocolate chip nose, two candy eyes, two ears, and one tongue.

    This fun summer treat will have kid's begging for more and these Puppy Ice Cream Cones can be made dairy free. Recipe at HungryHappenings.com

    This frosty little guy just came out of the freezer! Brr.

    Being this ice cream is so dreamy, I only managed to get two cones made. The rest of the ice cream disappeared too quickly. My ice cream maker is ready for my second batch, so I'm heading back into the kitchen to make some more.

    Have you ever made homemade ice cream using cashew milk? If not, I'm telling you this is a must-try recipe.

        I sure wish he would, but I think he'll just suggest we spend more time at the dog park. Oh, well, I love my dog, and I guess one at a time is enough!

      They are adorable. And....as always you showed us 2 versions of the doggy ears and eyes to get us thinking how we want to decorate our own dogs. Your photos are so wonderful, showing us exactly how to cut out the ears (and with what) and to make them elongated so they stick into the head. I know how long photos take to get just right so appreciate the effort you always put into your tutorials.
