I know I’m not shocking anyone here when I say I LOVE ICE CREAM! And everything that goes with ice cream – including toppings AND cones! SO when I was giving this waffle cone maker I was in HEAVEN! Today I’m finally sharing this easy to make homemade waffle cone or bowl recipe.

an easy waffle cone recipe. it tastes great, and everyone loves it, it is easy to make bowls or cones and is a huge hit every time

I love this recipe cause it’s 1. easy, 2. fast, and 3. tastes great! It has the perfect crunch and sweetness level. Not overly sweet though, and it’s super easy to shape! You can make larger or smaller cones just by changing the amount of batter you put into the waffle maker, and if you don’t want a cone just toss the warm waffle into a bowl (or muffin tin for small ones).

    If I do not have a waffle cone maker but have a waffle iron can I use that? What is the difference?

    many thanks

      they are completely different, waffle cones are almost completely flat with just a very light waffle cone texture. while waffle irons are very deep

      Can you use less batter in a regular waffle iron

    • Ashlee Marie

      January 6, 2020 at 11:02 am

      you need a waffle cone maker because it’s flat, a normal waffle iron has all those ridges that are way too deep for this super thin batter, so it wouldn’t work.

      How do you get them to stick together

    • Ashlee Marie

      January 6, 2020 at 11:01 am

      roll right away and let them cool and they’ll look in shape.

      I just made this recipe in my Belgium waffle maker. My wife and I loved them at first bite. We are going to make small Belgium waffles with this recipe to put at the bottom of the bowl of ice cream

      I just made these using a traditional waffle iron (for Belgium waffles). I just put a flat piece of tin foil on each side of the iron so that the ridges weren’t deep. I still got some of the pattern, but it spread them nice and thin. No problem! Yummy!

    Just found your blog and love this recipe!! I’m hoping to make a ton of these (like 100+) for a family reunion this summer. How long do these keep for? I’m hoping to make them in advance. I haven’t been able to test how long they last at my house because we always eat them!

      like any fresh baked good they don’t last super long. The best thing would be to make and freeze them until you want to use them

      What about the batter? Will it keep in the fridge for very long?

    • Ashlee Marie

      August 26, 2018 at 3:01 pm

      It will def last for a few hours, I wouldn’t like make it way ahead of time, but it should remix easily enough if it separates.

    Ashlee,
    I will try your recipe. I will be making bowls and will be using them in four days. Should I still freeze them to keep them fresh? I am thinking that they might get soggy in the freezer. To keep the bowls fresh and crispy, I need some advice.

    Thanks so very much,
    Deborah

      I’d just keep them in a bag on the counter, I won’t freeze or refrigerate them.

    Can I keep the batter in the fridge and make cones as needed or does the batter need to be used right away?

      i’ve never tried to keep the batter longer than just making some cones right away. it would probably be okay for a day, but not too much longer.

    These are the first waffle cones I have made. They will not be the last. They were so crispy and the taste was outstanding. Still have to practice rolling them into cones but my little bowls turned out great!
    Thx for this recipe.

      It only takes a few times to get used to rolling the cones, just a few more practice rounds and you’ll be an expert!

    Please help! I am no sure what temp to cook them on my iron for along with how long. What setting and time do you use.

      I used the medium heat setting and cook for 40-45 seconds

    Can I ask what brand/model ice cream cone maker you have? The ones I’ve seen available don’t seem to have the best ratings, but your cones look great!

    Do you have a recipe to make strawberry flavored waffle cones?

      ohhh that sounds amazing. I’d use freeze dried strawberries and grind them up into a powder

    Your waffle cone recipe is the best of many I have tried. It gives me the most even browning and consistent results. Thanks for such an awesome recipe. Also your photography is so attractive!

    I just started my own ice cream shop and wanted to make my own waffle cones / bowls. When I made them, they looked and tasted great, but I couldn’t keep them from getting soft and wimpy. Any advise?

      maybe cook them a little longer? Ive never had mine get soft!

    I made this this morning to go with some homemade rocky rd ice cream. I didn’t have a waffle cone maker but I do have a panini maker. I made the first few as written but soon realized that the batter was too thick for my maker so I thinned it down a bit using whole milk. I made a cone with some card stock to role it on when it was done. These are fantastic! I will keep this recipe forever. Also, I turned the bater sideways halfway through cooking to make a waffle like appearance. Thank you for a wonderful recipe and my first time making them.

    This is so fun! I don’t really need to get another kitchen tool, but since I live in a hot climate this might just make its way to my home. Thanks for sharing your tips!

      and it doesn’t take up too much room! you can use a cookie sheet and bake it instead of using the waffle iron

    This recipe was very easy. I was only able to make 6 cones. I would use this recipe again, but I will add a little more sugar.

      maybe put a little less batter into the waffle cone, I usually get 8 cones. But glad you liked it!
