Salty Pimp Ice Cream Cone Fakeout

A make-at-home version of a popular cone from a well-known New York ice cream shop. It has vanilla ice cream infused with dulce de leche, then is sprinkled with sea salt and covered in a chocolate coating. All this sits atop a cone drizzled with dulce de leche and sea salt. No wonder it it’s such a big seller!
