I love this version of a de-constructed icecream drumstick - way to go, so unique. Can't wait to try this for my kids party!
Terri Gilson
Thanks, Amy- enjoy!
Betty
Can I make ahead and freeze this for a BBQ?
Terri Gilson
Hi Betty,
You could, but only part up to the whipped cream. Do NOT put the whipped cream on it, as well as the peanuts and sundae sauce.
Freeze it, then defrost it completely and put that stuff on just prior to serving.
Enjoy!

at first I thought this was a chicken drumstick recipe but when I looked at the photos I was like this can't be righT!! then i realized it was ICE CREAM!!! and so much yes for oreo crumbs!!
Terri Gilson
haha! Yes, it tastes exactly like the drumstick ice cream, but without the ice cream 🙂

Use graham wafer crumbs instead of Oreo crumbs for a more authentic drumstick taste
Sharon
Omgsh a thousand times yes!! Drumsticks were definitely a childhood fave and this did not disappoint. It is even better honestly! Perfect for summer. YUM!
Terri Gilson
I agree, Sharon! They never disappointed!

Such a fun idea to add crushed up sugar cones in the crust. I make something very similar and it's always popular during the summer when it's too hot to bake.
