What I have found works when I have to use crushed ice that isn't very fine for my ice cones is I pack it in as tight as possible, which takes a bit of effort, then put in the freezer. After about 30m or so, I take it out and warm the mold in my hands - this causes the outer layer to melt ever so slightly. Then it goes right back in until ready. Not only do you get a really solid ice cone, but you also get a really cool mosaic look from the crushed ice. I've often wondered if putting a colour-changing submersible tea light at the bottom of a glass and then an ice cone on top would actually look as cool as I think it might...
