Drumstick ice cream cake is a nostalgic no-bake dessert inspired by the classic Drumstick cone, featuring a crunchy waffle cone crust, layers of ice cream, hot fudge, peanuts, and whipped topping. It’s a fun, customizable frozen treat perfect for summer parties or make-ahead desserts.

  • 1 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or magic shell topping
  • Optional: caramel sauce or extra waffle cone pieces for garnish
