The Schwarzenegger Peep
Today we create the Schwarzenegger Peep, essentially a waffle-cone version of the popular Easter delicacy. Call it a high-class version of those lil’ birdy treats! Dosage is up to you, as well as what you do with all the leftover sugars!
Sugar (Per Color)
1 ½ cup sugar
3 tsp candy flavor
6 (or more) drops food coloring
Using food coloring to match the flavor, combine the sugar ingredients in a bowl, a food processor with a couple pulses, or simply dump them in a Ziploc bag and mush until mixed.
Cones
10-12 waffle cones
2 bags white chocolate chips
Melt the chocolate chips. Flip and dip the waffle cones, shaking off the excess. Then, in bowls filled with different sugars, gently tap and roll to coat. Place upright in a holder to set (I got mine for cheap online) or in water cups. Also make sure to scoop a small amount of chocolate into the bottoms of the cones.
It’s best to do cones ahead of time, since you’ll need them right away next.
Fluff
3 packets knox gelatin
3 cups plain sugar
2 cups water divided in half
3 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup infused corn syrup
Dissolve the gelatin in 1 cup water in a large mixing bowl and set aside. Next, cook your sugar and remaining water with vanilla to a soft ball stage. Remove from heat and add infused syrup to combine just before dumping into the mixing bowl. Mix for about 10 minutes until it forms peaks that hold for a few seconds (note that a whisk attachment will produce a much airier, fluffier marshmallow). Fill a gallon-sized Ziploc, let cool for just a few minutes, then cut a corner. Test a small amount on a dish to see if it holds shape; if not, allow just slightly more cooling. Fill to your desired ice cream shape. Sprinkle additional sugars to coat. Let rest and enjoy!
