These cute cake pop cones offer a playful and unique twist on the classic cake pop. With a balance of cool, minty freshness and the rich decadence of chocolate chips, these mint chocolate cake pop cones are as visually stunning as they are delicious.
A whimsical dessert that’s perfect for parties, special occasions, or simply satisfying your sweet tooth cravings. It’s way too hot to bake a cake, so I used the Mint Oreos to make this Mint Chip “ice cream” cone.
Making the “ice cream cones”
While making these “ice cream cones” I wanted to keep them looking as real as possible. To me, that means having that irregular edge around the cone. To achieve that edge, I simply used my 1 Tablespoon Cookie Scoop to measure out the batter, and then I just left it. I didn’t roll it or smooth it or touch it. I just left that funky edge from the scoop and called it a day! It’s so easy!
Having made these before, I know that there can be some problems with the cones getting mushy and stale. That’s why I first dip the rim of the cone in chocolate. The candy acts like a barrier to keep the moisture from the cream cheese away from the cone.

Ingredients
- 12 Mint Oreos
- 2 oz Cream Cheese softened
- 10 Mini Ice Cream Cups
- Green Candy Melts
- Chocolate Candy Melts
- Green Mint Baking Chips
- Mini Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Place the Mint Oreos into a food processor and pulse until all cookies are crumbs. Add cream cheese and pulse until a ball forms.
- Using a 1 Tablespoon Cookie Scoop measure out ice cream “tops” and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Do not roll. Place in fridge for 1 hour.
- Melt candy melts according to directions. I like to melt mine in a ceramic mug at 70% power for 1 minute and then 70% power for 30 seconds. Lots of stirring.
- Remove cookie balls from the fridge.
- Dip the cones by dipping them into the chocolate candy melts and then sprinkling with the mint chips pieces and immediately place a cookie ball on top of wet candy. Press down slightly to make a good “connection”. Continue attaching all ice cream tops to cones.
- Dip ice cream tops into green candy melts and top with mini chocolate chips. If the balls feel too soft, return them to the fridge for 15 minutes.
- If this is a special treat for your child’s lunch box, please remember, the cream cheese pops need to remain chilled, so add an ice pack.
