I would guess that for physical reasons, some overflow will happen. Restricting this to just mathematics, you would compare the cone volume to the sphere volume. If the sphere volume is greater than cone volume, then overflow; else, no overflow. The problem is, you need to also be given the height of the cone.
r, radius of sphere and of "base" of the cone.
h, height of the cone.
Both those are variable and possibly unknown.
Capacity of Cone:
Ball of Ice Cream:
You can get an example answer if you would examine a real ice cream cone shell, and take the measurements.
