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.

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.

ICE CREAM CONE CAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Sit the cones in a muffin tin to hold them upright.
• Put the butter, flour, custard powder, vanilla, sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric whisk until smooth. If you have nimblefingered little helpers, hand round pairs of teaspoons and set them to work filling the cones. If you're making them yourself, spoon the cake batter into a food bag or disposable piping bag, snip off the end to give you a wide hole, then pipe into the cones, filling them ¾ full - this will enable you to get the batter right to the bottom.
• Bake the cone cakes, still in the muffin tin, for 30 mins until a skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool.
• To decorate the cakes, beat the butter until smooth, then add the icing sugar and vanilla, and beat again until well mixed. Put into a piping bag fitted with a big star nozzle, then pipe icing on top of each cake as you would a cupcake. Decorate with sprinkles, cherries, drizzles of sauce - whatever you like.

ICE CREAM SUNDAE BAR

Steps:

• To make the cones, slowly melt the chocolate in a microwave or a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Pour the sprinkles into a bowl. Dip the rim of a cone into the chocolate, shake off any excess, then dip it into the sprinkles. Leave upright to dry and repeat with the rest.
• Make the chocolate sauce by heating and stirring the chocolate bars and cream together in a pan over a low heat. Keep warm and transfer to a squeezy bottle when needed.
• To make the strawberry sauce, tip the berries into a pan with the sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and a splash of water. Heat gently until the strawberries start to release their juices. Mash or blend the contents of the pan, then push through a fine sieve to remove any pips. Leave to cool and transfer to a squeezy bottle or jug.
• Arrange the ice cream tubs (lids off ) in a large bowl or bucket filled with ice. Arrange the cones, squeezy bottles and assorted sprinkles, sweets and berries in bowls alongside, so that the kids can help themselves, adding the toppings of their choice.
