Waffle Cone Recipes for the Chef'sChoice® WaffleCone Express™


These Delicious Waffle Cones recipes / Ice Cream Cones recipes are courtesy of Chef'sChoice. Use with your Chef'sChoice waffle cone maker and your homemade ice cream maker for a true taste treat.

Here are three of our favorite cone recipes -- the rich buttery waffle cone you find in a specialty ice cream parlor, a light and refined wafer cone and an indulgent chocolate cone, almost good enough to eat on its own. Or, for quick and easy waffle cones, try our Chef'sChoice® Gourmet Waffle Cone Mix. No matter which recipe you choose, a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of lemon or orange flavor can be added to customize your cones. Use a fork or small spatula to stir the batter. It will be somewhat thick but spoonable onto the waffle cone plate. Store leftover batter in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Let come to room temperature before using.

Gourmet Waffle Cones

This is our basic recipe for a rich buttery waffle cone.

Yield: About 8 cones

1 whole egg
1 egg white
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup sifted all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. butter, melted and cooled slightly

1. Preheat the WaffleCone Express™. Start with Color Control setting of 2 1/2 to 3, but change as necessary for best results.
2. Beat the egg, egg white and salt in a small bowl with a fork until well blended. Beat in the sugar and beat until sugar is incorporated and the egg has lightened in color slightly, about 1 minute. Beat another 15 seconds to incorporate the flour and remove all lumps. Add the melted butter and stir until well blended.
3. Spoon 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) of batter in the center of the iron. Bake for 1 minute then check for proper color. Cook an additional 5 to 10 seconds if necessary.
4. Quickly remove the waffle from the WaffleCone Express™ onto a clean cloth towel. Use the cloth to help lift and roll the waffle around the cone form. Hold the cone a few seconds to set its shape then place on a wire rack to cool.

Elegant Wafer Cones

A bit lighter than our gourmet cones, this batter makes a delicate wafer cone. Cake flour ensures the best results. If you use all-purpose flour, you may need to add a small amount of additional oil to the recipe.

1/4 tsp. salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar

2. Beat the eggs and sale in a small bowl with a fork until well blended. Beat in the sugar and beat until sugar is incorporated and the eggs have lightened in color slightly, about 1 minute. Stir in the oil. Add the cake flour and stir slowly until all flour is moistened. Beat another 15 seconds to incorporate the flour and remove all lumps. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Spoon 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) of batter in the center of the iron. Bake for 1 minute then check for proper color. Cook and additional 5 to 10 seconds if necessary.
4. Quickly remove the waffle from the WaffleCone Express™ onto a clean cloth towel. Use the cloth to help lift and roll the waffle around the cone form. Hold the cone a few seconds to set its shape then place on a wire rack to cool.
