Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

CHOCOLATE – We’re using white almond bark to dip the cones in because it sets up really well. Feel free to use your favorite white chocolate chips or candy melts instead, or opt for a chocolate almond bark in its place.

SHOTS – The shot itself is rum chata with a couple drop of vanilla bean ice cream flavoring and Italian sweet cream coffee creamer. Now, you can certainly use any kind of coffee creamer you’d like as well as any flavoring you’d like. Realistically, you could skip the ice cream flavoring all together but it really does add to the flavor. Lastly, the shot is colored with food dye for a fun twist, but you can also omit the food coloring altogether if desired.

1. First, use a sharp knife and cut the tops off of the ice cream cones, set aside.
2. Melt almond bark in a microwave-safe dish for 2 minutes. If not completely melted let the chocolate sit in the warm microwave for a few minutes until soft.
3. Remove and dip a brush in chocolate, coat the bottom and sides of ice cream cones with white chocolate. Let chocolate harden and give the inside of the cones a generous second coat of chocolate, making sure the entire inside of the cone is coated.
4. Next, dip the tops of each cone in chocolate and dip in sprinkles, set aside.
5. In a small pitcher or cocktail shaker, add creamer, ice cream flavoring, rum chata, and food coloring together. Mix thoroughly and fill each cone with the mixture, add a striped straw if you like, and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips

Absolutely! You can double this recipe to make around 20 shots and store the alcohol mixture in a pitcher. When you’re ready to serve, pour into the ice cream cone shot glasses and enjoy! I wouldn’t recommend pouring the mixture into the shot glasses until they’re ready to be consumed to avoid the cone becoming soggy, the chocolate coating on the inside will only last so long.

Serving Suggestions

These shots are perfect for parties, birthdays, and can be made for holidays by simply swapping out the color of sprinkles and food dye to tailor to the color scheme. For Christmas rum chata shots, try red and green sprinkles then leave the rum chata color as is. Halloween shots would be a lot of fun as well by switching to regular chocolate bark with purple, green, orange, or black sprinkles with optional orange food coloring!
