If there ever was a food combo that I wish I discovered sooner, Ice Cream Nachos would be at the top of the list! This is such a fun spin on a summer treat that is fast to prep, looks amazing, and is devoured immediately!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream…Nachos!

Ingredients

Here is what I used for my Ice Cream Nachos, but you can add in whatever you’d like!

Ice Cream Nacho Ideas:

Muddy Bites – mini cones with chocolate inside (I found mine at Walmart.) They come in Milk Chocolate, Chocolate Cones with White Chocolate Filling, Dark Chocolate, or White Chocolate. Yum!

Waffle cones (broken apart)

Ice Cream Topping Ideas:

Your Favorite Ice Cream
Whipped cream
Chocolate, Strawberry, or Caramel syrup
Maraschino cherries
Rainbow sprinkles
Crushed cookies
Chocolate chips
Chopped fruit chunks
Caramel
Peanut butter sauce
Cookie Dough Bites
Other candy / crushed up candy bars

The ideas are endless!! 🙌❤️🍦🍦

Here’s a Quick Video Tutorial!

Perfect Presentation Platters

Pretty much any large platter will work for this! (I’d just steer clear of paper plates if possible so they don’t rip or tear as the ice cream melts.)

Serving Platters: I love this faux marble rectangular tray or this white porcelain platter, which are both from Walmart at a great price! This gray soapstone tray from Target is also a nice option.

Round Trays: I use this round wooden Target tray all the time, which I get so much use out of year-round! For a higher-end round tray, I love my MacKenzie-Childs checkered party tray. If you’d prefer some glitz, you could also go with this Gold Metal Party Tray from Walmart at a great price!

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Prep This Ahead of Time?

You can definitely arrange the base layer of “nachos” ahead of time! Since it only takes a few minutes to scoop up the ice cream and add the toppings, I’d recommend waiting until right before serving time to add the ice cream and toppings. If you have to make them ahead of time, just store in the freezer!

Storing Leftover Ice Cream Nachos

There usually isn’t much left of this tasty treat, but you could put any leftover ice cream cones, Stroopwafels, or Ice Cream Cone fragments in a Ziploc Bag and store in the fridge.

Enjoy!

I hope you loved this tasty treat as much as we did! Have a wonderful day, sweet friends!

XoXo,
