Healthier Homemade Ice Cream Drumsticks 3 ways are what summer nostalgia is made of. Featuring light ice cream, sugar free chocolate and your choice of toppings, you’re in for a decadent treat!

Ice cream season is the BEST season of the year, don’t you agree?

We eat ice cream all year long but there’s something about the summer sun and the ice cream dripping down your hand that makes the ice cream taste that much sweeter.

And there’s nothing better than the surprise chocolate at the bottom.

My family is all about sweet treats in the summer to help us cool down and homemade dipped ice cream cones top the list.

I love nothing more than pulling through the drive thru for a cherry dipped vanilla cone.

Now I’m bringing the same notion home with these ice cream drumsticks.

While recently shopping at Jewel-Osco, I spotted Open Nature® Scandal-less light ice cream products in a variety of irresistibly delicious flavors.

The kids helped me and after much pondering, we finally decided on Birthday cake, Vanilla and Sea-Salt Caramel.

Open Nature® Scandal-less light ice cream products have no artificial colors or flavors and feature a clean ingredient deck.  They’re also a

Ice Cream Flavors

Signature SELECT™ and Open Nature® features a wide range of high-quality ice cream flavors so you can have fun and experiment with many types of pairings. Some ideas could be:

Cookies and Cream

Mint Chip

Cookie Dough

Peanut Butter Cup

Cotton candy

They also feature non-dairy desserts for which you could use dairy free chocolate chips.

Sugar Free chocolate chips

I used semi sweet sugar free chocolate chips, made with stevia, to keep these cones on the lighter side*. However, feel free to use milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips or any chopped chocolate of your choice.

*The nutritional information will not be the same

You could even use white almond bark for a white chocolate version.

Tips and Tricks

Standing up the cones

I placed the sprinkles, chocolate chips and some sea salt into the bottom of small glass jars, however, you can use rice, in to the bottom of small mason jars to keep the cones upright while filling them with melted chocolate and ice cream.

Freezing the ice cream

Light ice cream doesn’t freeze as solid as regular ice cream so you have to work quickly and make them one at a time to ensure proper freezing.

I noticed the sea salt caramel was softer than the others and a tad bit trickier to work with.

Serving Size

I made 2 cones for each type of ice cream flavor but there is plenty of ice cream in the pint to make at least 6 cones.

Our entire family devoured these skinny drumsticks and yours will too!
