the girls try Winter Ice Cream

The girls love ice cream, especially in the hot summer months. I came across an interesting recipe for what I like to call winter ice cream. The girls were very excited, and helped their Mama prepare the winter ice cream.

We placed six cones in mini-muffin tins. We then filled them 2/3 of the way with cake batter (any will do). Next, we baked them for 20 minutes at 350F. The girls enjoyed watching them rise, and our toddler mentioned that one had overflowed by saying the "ice cream was dripping".

After letting the cones cool for 5 minutes, we added the icing. As we used white icing, the end result actually looked like ice cream. The girls eagerly decorated them with sprinkles.

I would say that winter ice cream was a hit. Even though the only one to finish his entire cone was Papa. The girls gobbled down the icing and were part way through the cones when they tired...
