Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 waffle cones
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (60% cacao)
3 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
Pour chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency (about 20-25 minutes).
While the ice cream churns, prepare the chocolate dip: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly until warm but not hot.
Transfer soft serve to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped. Pipe into waffle cones, filling to the top and creating a swirl.
Immediately dip the top of each filled cone into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Hold cone upside down for a few seconds to let the coating set slightly, then place upright on a parchment-lined tray.
Freeze cones for at least 15 minutes to harden the chocolate shell. Serve immediately or store in the freezer for up to 2 days.

Tips

For a thicker chocolate shell, let the dipped cones freeze for 30 minutes.
Store leftover cones in an airtight container in the freezer to prevent freezer burn.
Add sprinkles or crushed nuts immediately after dipping before the chocolate sets.
