Bunny Butt Sundae Cone Recipes

BUNNY BUTT DOUGHNUT

Steps:

• Snip the ends from 1 marshmallow to reveal the sticky insides, then snip the marshmallow in half crosswise so both sides are sticky. Pull each piece into an oval shape for the foot pads of the bunny. Press 1 small pink candy (such as Smarties) on the top of each foot pad, then stick 3 pink confetti sprinkles at the bottom of each. Use marshmallow fluff to stick the feet to the top of 1 plain cake doughnut. Dust the doughnut with confectioners' sugar, brushing off the feet so the pink is visible. Coat the top and sides of 1 marshmallow with marshmallow fluff using a butter knife, then roll in sweetened flaked coconut. Press the coconut to adhere. Stick the marshmallow in the hole of the doughnut, coconut-side up.

BUNNY BUTT SUNDAE CONE

Steps:

• Scoop vanilla ice cream into a flat-bottomed cake cone to come just past the rim. Press the top of the ice cream into crushed chocolate cookies. Secure the cone in a 3-ounce paper cup and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Place another scoop of ice cream on top of the crushed cookies. Snip a marshmallow in half crosswise and stretch to make an oval paw shape. Draw bunny paw pads on the smooth sides of the marshmallow pieces with a pink edible marker and stick to the ice cream. Pipe or top with a quarter-sized dollop of sweetened whipped cream between the feet for a bunny tail. Push 2 small oval shaped sandwich cookies (such as Mini Milanos) into the top of the ice cream scoop for bunny ears.

COCONUT BUNNY BUTT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch (1 1/2 quart) ovenproof metal bowl. Line 4 muffin cups with paper liners.
• For the cake: Whisk the eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Whisk in the cream of coconut, pineapple, coconut extract and vanilla extract until combined. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in another large bowl. Beat in the butter, one piece at a time, with an electric mixer on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add half the egg mixture and beat on high until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the remaining egg mixture until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Fill the muffin cups each 2/3 full, then pour the remaining batter into the prepared bowl. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes for the cupcakes and 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes for the bowl. Remove the cakes to a wire rack and let cool in their pans for 15 minutes, then turn them out and let cool completely.
• For the buttercream: Beat the confectioners' sugar and butter together with an electric mixer on low speed until well combined, then beat on high speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in 1 tablespoon of the milk and the vanilla and coconut extracts until light and spreadable, 2 to 3 minutes more, adding up to 1 tablespoon more milk if the frosting is too stiff.
• With a serrated knife, trim the flat bottom of the bowl-shaped cake so it lies flat on a plate, rounded-side up, and frost with a layer of buttercream. Remove the wrappers from the cupcakes and anchor 2 of them with a pretzel stick each at the base of the cake to make the bunny's feet (leave about 1 1/2 inches between the feet). Cut the third cupcake in half from top to bottom. With pretzel sticks, attach the cupcake halves to the top of the feet, with the cut-side facing down and the rounded ends positioned to be the heels of the feet. Attach the last cupcake with a pretzel stick to the lower half of the top of the cake to make a tail. Frost the cupcakes with the remaining frosting. Wipe away any frosting that has smeared on the cake plate.
• Pat about 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut all over the cake. Put the remaining coconut in a large zip-top plastic bag. Mix the green food coloring with 2 teaspoons water and add to the bag. Toss and massage the coconut until it is uniformly green in color. Press the chocolate candies into the bottoms of the bunny feet with the larger candy at the top and the smaller ones underneath so they resemble the pads of the toes. Spread the green coconut all around the cake plate to make grass and decorate with candy eggs. Flatten the apricots with a rolling pin and roll into carrot shapes. Cut the leaves in half crosswise and use scissors to snip them to resemble carrot tops. Insert the carrot tops into the wider end of the apricot carrots and arrange them in the grass around the bunny.

FRUIT SUNDAE CONES

Steps:

• Place the cut-up strawberries in blender container; cover and blend until smooth.
• Place the 3 cups of assorted fruit in a bowl, toss with asorbic acid to prevent darkening if desired.
• Spoon fruit into cones and drizzle with strawberry puree, sprinkle with toasted coconut.
• Enjoy!

HOMEMADE ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until frothy. Whisk in the butter, milk and vanilla. Gradually whisk in the flour and salt until smooth. The batter should be thin; you can stir in more milk if needed.
• Heat a small skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush the pan lightly with oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and turn to spread out the batter into a thin circle. When the underside is golden brown, flip over and cook until golden on the other side. Remove from the pan and form into a cone while it's hot, squeezing the end to seal. Place on a wire rack to cool and harden completely. Repeat with the remaining batter.

SUNDAE CONES WITH HOMEMADE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat cream on high until stiff peaks form, 3 minutes. With a rubber spatula, gently fold whipped cream into condensed milk mixture. Pour into a loaf pan, cover, and freeze until firm, 6 hours (or up to 1 week).
• Set cones upright in another loaf pan filled with uncooked rice. Microwave one-quarter the chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Spoon into tips of cones and let cool.
• Pack each cone with ice cream, then top with a round scoop, pressing down to secure. Return cones to rice-filled pan and freeze until firm, 6 hours (or overnight).
• Microwave remaining chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in oil and let cool slightly. Working quickly, invert each cone, dip in chocolate, set upright in pan, and sprinkle with nuts. Freeze until firm, 1 hour.

FROSTED CUPCAKE "SUNDAE" CONES

Steps:

• Make the cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover a 12-inch ovenproof bowl or tube pan (center removed) with a double layer of heavy-duty foil. Poke 12 holes in the foil, 2 1/2 inches apart, using a skewer or a sharp paring knife. Place a cone in each hole, leaving top inch of each visible.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a bowl. Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, then vanilla. Beat in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Continue to beat until combined.
• Fill each cone with 2 to 3 tablespoons batter. Bake, rotating bowl halfway through, until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Let cool completely.
• Make the Swiss meringue buttercream: Heat egg whites, sugar, and salt in the heatproof bowl of a mixer set over a pan of simmering water, whisking, until mixture is warm to the touch and sugar dissolves (it should feel completely smooth when rubbed between 2 fingers).
• Transfer bowl to mixer, and whisk on low speed, gradually increasing speed to medium-high, until stiff (not dry) peaks form. Continue whisking until cooled and glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce speed to medium-low, and add butter, a few tablespoons at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in vanilla. Switch to the paddle attachment. Continue beating on low speed until air bubbles are eliminated, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Beat until completely smooth.
• Transfer buttercream to a pastry bag fitted with a coupler or a large round tip. Pipe buttercream onto cupcake in a circular motion to create a "soft serve" swirl. Garnish with chocolate and cherries. Serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE SUNDAE CONE COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In large microwavable bowl, microwave 1 cup chocolate chunks uncovered on High 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Add butter; using spoon, beat until blended. Add egg; beat until combined. Add cookie mix; stir until soft dough forms. Stir in remaining 1 cup chocolate chunks and the vanilla baking chips. Gently stir in crushed cones just until combined.
• Onto ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by 2 tablespoonfuls per cookie; flatten tops slightly. Sprinkle with peanuts, pressing lightly into dough. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until puffed and dry on tops (centers will be very soft). Cool 3 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely before storing in airtight container.
