Summer is drawing to a close (boooo!!), but that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying an ice cream cone now and then, right? In the case of today’s recipe, you can also make a watermelon “ice cream” cone.
And, to help give summer the sendoff it deserves, you can make this recipe to celebrate National Ice Cream Cone Day coming up on September 22.
This recipe is kid-friendly (no drippy ice cream!), and you can top it with pretty much anything you’d like. You can use sprinkles, pineapple chunks, chocolate chips, a drizzle of chocolate syrup or coconut flakes. Which topping would you use?
