Do you enjoy the crispy, chewy corners of brownies or the gooey center? Whether you prefer cake-like or fudgy brownies, these brownies in a cone offer the best of both.
These delightful treats boast a mix of textures and flavors that make them a special indulgence. The brownie batter creates a crispy, chewy top while keeping the center wonderfully gooey.
Meanwhile, the brownie base has a cake-like texture that adds to the overall experience. Encased in a crispy, chewy ice cream cone, these treats are extraordinary and unforgettable.
If you prefer a less gooey center and a more cake-like texture, simply adjust the baking time for a bit longer. This way, you can customize these brownies in a cone to suit your taste preferences, ensuring a satisfying dessert experience.

🍯 Why This Recipe Works
- It's easy to make. Making a boxed brownie mix is very easy and requires almost no effort at all. This recipe is almost as easy as that, except we pour the batter into cones instead of a baking dish.
- Minimal ingredients. All you need is some prepared brownie mix and ice cream cones.
- Perfect for sharing. One batch makes plenty to share, but once you try these brownies, you may not want to share. That's fine too because they freeze well.
🥘 Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
Boxed brownie mix- Use a box of your favorite brownie mix. I like to see Pillsbury or Duncan Heins. Make sure to buy 2 boxes so you can also try our Brownie Mix Cookies.
Eggs- Eggs will give us the texture we want from the brownies and help add richness.
Ice Cream Cones- Use flat bottomed ice cream cones to hold the prepared brownie mix. Use leftover cones for these Microwave Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes. Broken cones can be turned into Ice Cream Nachos.

🔪 Instructions for Ice Cream Cone Brownies
Step 1: Take a box of brownie mix and prepare it according to the cake-like instructions (the one wanting 3 eggs).
Step 2: Place your ice cream cones in the baking dish of choice and spoon the batter inside. You want it to come up to the bottom of the wide ridge. If you need an exact measurement, it's about 3 tablespoons.
Step 3: Bake the cupcakes for 25 minutes at 350F degrees for a gooey center cupcake.
30 minutes or longer if you want the cakey center- double check it's done when a toothpick comes out clean.
For a gooey brownie, the toothpick test is not needed.
Step 4: Let cool for about 5 minutes or longer (your choice) and serve with a scoop of delicious vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy!
🍴 Recipe Tips
- Managing Fill Levels: To prevent the brownie ice cream cones from overflowing, aim for a filling level of around ⅔ of the cone's capacity. This can be a bit challenging due to the cone's unique shape.
- Determining the Fill Level: Use the bottom ridge of the cone where it widens as a visual guide. Fill the cones up to this point, possibly slightly exceeding it, to achieve the ideal fill level.
- Ensuring Upright Cones: Keeping the cones upright during baking can be tricky. Consider these methods:
- Place the cones upright in a muffin tin to provide stability.
- Cover a baking dish with heavy-duty foil and create holes in the foil for the cones to stand in, securing them in place during baking.
💭 How to transport brownies in ice cream cones
Transporting cone brownies to gatherings or parties can be tricky, but here are some tips:
- Unfrosted Brownies: If the brownies are unfrosted, decorate them at the destination and store them in an airtight container for easy transport.
- Frosted Brownies: For frosted brownies, use a baking dish covered in foil. Poke holes in the foil for the cones to stand in, providing stability during transportation.
- Disposable Aluminum Pan Method: Alternatively, purchase a disposable aluminum baking pan. Flip it upside down on a large baking sheet and poke holes in it for the cones to stand in, offering a stable base for transport.
