I'm keen to replicate these mini cones available to buy from Sydney Australia. Coles supermarket sells them.
So far I've found one video that shows the cones being sprayed with a thin layer of what appears to be thinned melted chocolate before gelato being scooped and hand shaped before they are dipped into chocolate.
Any recipes of the chocolate coating and tips on technique would be appreciated. I've seen recipes with coconut oil added to the chocolate. I also know you can't temper the chocolate as the shell will crack.

Hi! I used to work in a gelateria and made these all the time. Can’t help you with a coating recipe since we used a premade one, but I can share the technique we used. I’d shape them right on the cone with a teaspoon, trying to get them as round as possible, then pop them on a tray and blast freeze them. Since I’m guessing you don’t have a blast chiller, just use fairly hard ice cream and get them into the freezer as quickly as you can, that should do the trick. Once they’re nice and solid, just dip them and stick them back in the freezer.
