Summer means ice cream every day.
There’s no such thing as too much ice cream if I’m being honest, and my kids definitely agree!
But there is such thing as too many trips to the ice cream shop.
To take all 6 of us for ice cream cones it’s almost the same price as 2 large pizzas or a few days worth of groceries.
But just because my wallet says that multiple stops for ice cream are a no go doesn’t mean we can’t treat ourselves to ice cream shop style treats like our favorite flavors piled high in homemade waffle cones.
Homemade waffle cones are easy to make if you have a waffle cone maker and a few ingredients that are probably in your pantry already.
And since you serve them fresh, they will be so much yummier than the ones that have been sitting around your local ice cream parlor for a few days.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Sugar– Granulated and brown sugar
- Butter– Melted
- Heavy cream– Don’t substitute this for a lower fat dairy
- Egg whites– Just the whites
- Vanilla extract– Real vanilla extract
- Salt
- Flour– All purpose
How to Make
Homemade waffle cones are easier than you may think!
To make them, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, heavy cream, egg whites, brown sugar, vanilla extract and salt in a medium bowl.
Then stir in the flour until just combined.
Once the flour is combined, set the batter aside for 5-10 minutes to thicken slightly.
While the batter thickens, preheat the waffle cone maker to medium high.
Once the waffle cone maker is hot, scoop ¼ cup of batter into the center then close the lid and press down slightly.
Cook the waffle cone until golden brown.
Once it is golden brown carefully remove the cone to a clean dish towel.
Wrap it tightly around the cone mold using the dish towel and hold in place for 1-2 minutes.
Place the cone on a cooling rack and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve with ice cream and enjoy!
Storing
These cones are best the day you make them but you can store them in an airtight container or ziplocking bag on the counter for up to a few days.
Tips and Tricks
- Spray the waffle cone maker with nonstick spray for an easy release.
- Dip the finished cones into melted chocolate and sprinkles or chopped peanuts for fancy waffle cones.
- While you can save these, they are best enjoyed the day you make them.
