Homemade Drumsticks

June 7th, 2011

As a kid, there was nothing that completed a summer day by the pool like the song of an approaching ice cream truck. While most of my friends would switch up their selections each time (between Astro Pops, Creamsicles and Klondike Bars), I’d always go with a Drumstick. And up until this past weekend, I didn’t think there was much room for improvement – it’s essentially a glorified ice cream cone that’s topped with crushed nuts and rimmed with a chocolately inside. But it turns out, you can. I made vanilla bean ice cream and followed these instructions for assembling my own that turned out to be far superior to the already near-perfect originals.

    I had my first-ever drumstick in Canada last year when I went there for the summer. It was my niece and I, lounging around and eating our drumsticks so contentedly – pieces of heaven are on earth :)

    Of course I had to see this post when it is almost 100 degrees outside. I am not a huge fan of sugar cones but if a Drumstick was in front of me I would not even hesitate to eat one in this weather.

    This looks good; you could make your own magic shell using coconut oil and chocolate chips, and that would be a healthier alternative to the bottled brand.

    I saw somebody (not you) post this on their instagram and didn’t credit you! I thought it was their work!! Tisk tisk!
