Waffle cones, take 2





Tonight I tried the waffle cone recipe from David Leibovitz's Perfect Scoop. Again I was surprised by how quick and easy the process was. DL's cones were much thicker than Jeni's and much less fragile. They also needed to cook longer, almost twice as long (1:30 as opposed to :45; Jeni's burned at a minute). I'm glad to know I can achieve a thicker cone, even with the pizzelle iron. Hubby said he thought he preferred the taste of these; I actually preferred the taste of Jeni's, but liked the sturdiness of these.

We enjoyed them with Jeni's darkest chocolate ice cream, with mini chips and cookie dough mixed in (inspiration thanks to Di). Summer dessert perfection.

  1. Sounds to me like another experiment is in the works...something that tastes like Jeni's and has the sturdiness of DL's. Yes, I can see you perfecting that. Love the design in yours, so pretty.

  2. I'll have to try the cone recipe from DL's book. I love Jeni's, but should try some others for comparison.
