There’s this classic story my friend tells about the morning she agreed to watch another friends famously unruly twins at 7 a.m and she showed up to drop them off at 5:30 a.m. In their hands were ice cream cupcakes, mouths slathered with chocolate, hair mussed, pajamas on. Ever since, I’ve never been able to muster myself into the kitchen to make a batch of ice cream cone cupcakes. I found them, frankly, nasty after such a tale. But this simple version, where ice cream replaced the sickly-sweet ice cream, where a layer of ganache tops off the cone, turned out so adorably delicious that I couldn’t help myself. I ate my first Ice Cream Cone cupcake from top to bottom and I didn’t even once feel like a filthy twin noshing on dessert before dawn. Thank goodness, because I’ve got another one sitting on my countertop, calling my name.
