The Eclipse Magic Cone is an eclipse-themed ice cream cone that was available at the Salt & Straw’s Wiz Bang Bar for a limited time to celebrate the rare celestial event. The Eclipse Magic Cone was available from August 17 to 21 to make it a limited-edition creation that, like the eclipse itself, was only around for a very brief period of time this summer.
The Eclipse Magic Cone consisted of a black charcoal waffle cone that was rimmed with edible gold and filled with spiced marshmallow fluff, turmeric and golden yellow coconut soft serve before being dipped in a black sesame dip. The eclipse-themed ice cream was topped with pop rocks on the top portion that added the effect of cratering to look even more celestial.
