ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 5 loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside. Put 1-1/2 cups of flour in one medium sized bowl and the other 1-1/2 cups flour in another medium sized bowl. Add one melted pint to one bowl, the other pint to the other bowl. Stir each bowl to combine ingredients.
• Using an ice cream scoop (or two if you don't want to clean it between scoops), scoop the batters into the pan in an alternating checkerboard pattern, four scoops down by two scoops across. Repeat for the second layer, topping the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough scoops with Chocolate Fudge Brownie and vice versa. Continue until all batter has been scooped into the pan. Then take a wooden skewer or chopstick and run it through the top of the batter, making a swirly pattern.
• Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer poked into the bread comes out clean. To avoid overly browning the loaf, tent aluminum foil over the top of the pan after the first 30-40 minutes.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing.
• Enjoy with a scoop of Ben & Jerry’s on top!

Steps:

• Put the ricotta in a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Refrigerate 30 minutes to drain.
• Transfer the ricotta to a large bowl. Add the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and almond extracts, and the orange zest and beat with a mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute. Fold in 3 tablespoons chopped chocolate. Cover and refrigerate until thick and cold, at least 1 hour.
• Transfer the ricotta mixture to a resealable plastic bag. Snip off one corner and pipe the mixture into the cones. Gently press the remaining chocolate and the pistachios into the ricotta mixture. Dust the cones with confectioners' sugar.
