We first made these as brownies in a cone but you can use a cake mix too.
It's simple. Add batter to ice cream cones, prop them in a muffin tin, and bake them.
After they've cooled and when you're ready to serve them, put a scoop of ice cream on top of each. You can use any combination of cake or brownie mix with any ice cream.
It's a fun way to cool off on a hot summer day, especially for kids, and it's a lot less work than baking, frosting, and decorating cupcakes.
More Ice Cream Topped Cupcakes
The cupcakes at the top--that's ice cream under that chocolate coating.
Again it's simple to do and a lot of fun. The trick is to freeze the ice cream to the top of the cupcakes before inverting them into the melted chocolate.
One more slick trick
The cupcakes to the right--same concept but instead of ice cream under that layer of chocolate, it's buttercream frosting.
