1. Place saran wrap in cake pan making sure it goes up the edges.

2. Pour softened ice cream into the pan, smoothing it out with a knife or spatula, (we used 2 pints of ice cream).

3. Place the pan back in freezer and wait until it’s hardens again, about 1 hour.

4. Fill sugar cones with ice cream and set aside.

5. Once the ice cream in the pan has hardened, use the cookie cutter to cut out cactus shapes.

6. Insert cake pop sticks into the bottom of the cactus cut out and insert into the ice cream already in the cones. Work quickly on this step so the ice cream doesn’t melt! Add the pink flower candies.

Place the cactus ice cream cones back in freezer standing up in cups if you are not serving immediately, so the ice cream can harden again. Serve up these summer beauties whenever ready!

PS. Pair with cactus balloons and your own colorful cactus plants for an easy desert themed party that is totally on point.
