What’s up, Doc?
We’re always on the look out for new and different recipe ideas, and we’ve got to say, this one takes the cake. Don’t get us wrong, we love Easter Eggs too, but its so nice to see something different to try for the kids and family.
This recipe is bound to be a show stopper because it’s so unexpected – who would’ve thought carrots could taste so good!
What you’ll need…
- Ice Cream Cones (12)
- Chocolate Cake Batter (made from mix or from scratch)
Buttercream Icing (store bought or homemade)
- Orange Candy Melts (2 packs)
- Orange Sprinkles (2 jars)
- Green Edible Candy Grass
How to…
1) Line a baking tray with baking paper and place an oven-safe wire rack on top. Stand ice cream cones upright in slots of wire rack. Cones must fit snuggly or they will fall over when baking.
2) Fill each cone 2/3 of the way full with cake batter. Bake approximately 15 minutes at 160 degrees, until toothpick comes out almost clean. You’ll need to let it sit and cool completely.
3) Top each cone with a small amount of icing. Return to wire tray and place in freezer for 15 minutes.
4) Meanwhile, melt orange candy coating in a tall microwave-safe container. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir. Repeat if necessary until completely melted.
5) Dip chilled cone into melted orange candy, holding the pointed end of cone with your fingers.
6) Before candy coating hardens, hold cone over a bowl and coat with orange sprinkles.
7) Set cone onto baking paper, icing side down, until hard.
8) Using a toothpick, make a small hole in the top centre of the carrot. Insert a few pieces of edible grass and trim to desired length.
