From Family Fun, this looks like it would be a hit on the 4th of July. Recipe is for one cone, but can easily be increased for a crowd since almost everything is done ahead. The picture on this is adorable. Ingredients:
1 scoop french vanilla ice cream or 1 scoop vanilla ice cream |
1 wafer ice cream cones |
white frosting |
blue fruit leather |
red and blue decorating gels |
red and blue m&m |
6 1/2 ounces canister of ready-made whipped cream |
Directions:
1. Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on a plate and return it to the freezer to harden.
2. Meanwhile, construct an Uncle Sam hat out of a wafer ice cream cone.
3. Invert the cone so it's upside down.
4. Use frosting to attach a blue band of fruit leather around the bottom of the cone. (Which is actually the top of the cone turned upside down).
5. Squirt 6 vertical stripes of red decorating gel down the sides and blue gel on the top.
6. Using a star tip, squirt on white frosting stars around the blue fruit leather, if desired.
7. TIP: To avoid smudging the Uncle Sam hat design, hold the cone from the inside while decorating it with fruit leather and icing.
8. Remove the ice cream-scoop head from the freezer and top with the Uncle Sam hat.
9. Working quickly so the ice cream doesn't melt, add 2 blue M&M's eyes and a red M&M's nose. Finally, add a whipped cream beard.
10. Serve up your Uncle Sam ice cream cone immediately; he goes over well at July 4th celebrations. Makes 1.
