Drumstick Babka: A tribute to the Drumstick cone with this sweet braided bread filled with sugar cone pieces, chocolate, peanuts and coated in vanilla ice cream glaze.
This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions, bad grammar, and overuse of emojis are 100% mine.
In this post I used Dixie Crystals granulated sugar. I got great results with the product that they sent me. While no money was given for this post I did receive free product.
Welcome to day 5 of #SummerDessertWeek!
Long time readers of my blog know my love of the babka.
I make them in many flavors so I knew I would want one for dessert week.
Play off of the Bomb Pop idea I thought about the other ice creams I used to get at the ice cream truck.
Since I did a whole week already of all things creamsicle and orange sherbet I went with Drumstick.
If for some reason you are not familiar with a Drumstick, the classic ice cream cone consists of a sugar cone with a little chocolate at the bottom of the cone as a treat.
It’s filled with vanilla ice cream and dipped in more chocolate and chopped peanuts.
I thought long and hard about how to translate that into a babka.
There is vanilla ice cream in both the babka batter as well as the glaze that covers the babka.
I made a mix of crushed sugar cone, chopped unsalted dry roasted peanuts, and milk chocolate.
Then instead of just plain butter I spread a butter and vanilla ice cream mix in the middle.
Which is then coated in the sugar cone/peanut/chocolate mix.
All rolled up and braided.
Then more sugar cone/peanut/chocolate mix is added to the top.
It turned out wonderful and I was glad that my experiment worked.

Drumstick Babka
Ingredients
- For the dough:
- 1 TBSP dry active yeast
- 1/2 cup + ½ tsp. Granulated sugar (I used Dixie Crystals)
- ½ cup lukewarm water (105-110F)
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ cup melted vanilla ice cream
- ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- For the filling:
- 3 sugar cones, crushed finely
- 8 oz milk chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped unsalted roasted peanuts
- 5 TBSP unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup melted vanilla ice cream
- For the Glaze:
- 3/4 cup melted vanilla ice cream
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- To make the dough:
- Place the yeast and ½ teaspoon sugar in a small bowl.
- Add the lukewarm water and stir gently to mix.
- Set aside until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla.
- With mixer on low, add the water-yeast mixture, melted vanilla ice cream, and melted butter.
- Add eggs one at a time.
- When the dough begins to come together, after 2 to 3 minutes, turn off mixer and scrape down the sides.
- Raise the speed too high and mix for another 5 to 10 minutes until the dough is shiny and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl with a damp towel on top.
- Allow to rise until it has doubled, about 1 to 2 hours.
- For the filling:
- In a large bowl mix together the crushed sugar cones, peanuts, and chocolate. Set aside.
- in a small bowl mix together the melted ice cream and butter. Set aside.
- Making the babka:
- Cut the dough into two equal parts.
- Roll out one part into a rectangle.
- Spread 1/2 the vanilla ice cream butter spread.
- Sprinkle 1 cup sugar cone/peanut/chocolate mixture.
- Roll dough up like a cinnamon roll and cut it straight down the middle so the filling is exposed.
- Cut ½ inch off each end.
- Layer each cut piece on top of one another and twist.
- Filling will come out, that is to be expected.
- Place in a greased loaf pan.
- Top with more sugar cone/peanut/chocolate mixture.
- Repeat with other babka dough.
- Lightly drape a kitchen towel over the top of pans.
- Allow to rise another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F while the dough rises.
- Bake for 20 minutes with aluminum foil lightly tenting the bread..
- Put back in oven and bake another 15-20 minutes.
- The edges should be slightly brown and the middle should be slightly doughy.
- Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Using a butter knife, loosen sides of the babkas from the pans and place on top of parchment wire rack to cool.
- For the glaze:
- Simply whisk together the melted ice cream, and powdered sugar in a medium bowl.
- Pour glaze over the two babkas. Allow an hour for the glaze to set up.
