Decadent Peach Cobbler Ice Cream Cones – A Heavenly Summer Dessert
Ingredients:
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp rolled oats
- 1/4 cup pecans or walnuts (optional)
For the Ice Cream Cone:
- 4 waffle cones
- 1 can of peaches in syrup (drained and diced)
- 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream or custard
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- A few sprigs of mint (for garnish)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Cobbler Topping
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and oats. Add the cubed butter and mix with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the chopped pecans or walnuts (if using) and spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Step 2: Assemble the Ice Cream Cones
- While the cobbler topping cools, scoop vanilla ice cream or custard into each waffle cone, packing it tightly.
- Spoon the diced peaches on top of the ice cream, layering them gently.
Step 3: Add the Cobbler Topping
- Once the cobbler topping has cooled, sprinkle it generously over the peach and ice cream layers in each cone. Press gently to ensure it stays in place.
Step 4: Drizzle with Cream
- In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream and powdered sugar to create a smooth, sweet glaze.
- Drizzle the cream mixture over the top of each cone to add an extra touch of sweetness and richness.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint for a burst of color and added freshness.
- Serve the peach cobbler ice cream cones immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of textures and flavors.
