How Do You Make Ice Cream Cones?

There is no daydream better than a freshly baked ice cream cone topped with the finest vanilla bean ice cream

and sprinkles.

This is certainly a summer time favorite in many different

communities, and with the right tools, it can be an obtainable summer time favorite in your community as well!

All you need to do is follow these few simple steps to make that delicious

homemade ice cream cone.

First, you will need to gather your ingredients.

This includes one-half cup of finely ground almonds, one-fourth of a cup of all-purpose flour, one-half of a cup of confectioner’s sugar, one-fourth of a

teaspoon of salt, two large egg whites (no yolks), one-fourth of a teaspoon of almond extract, one-half of a teaspoon

of water, and five tablespoons of unsalted, melted butter.

Next, you will need to gather your equipment.

This includes one baking sheet, one foam cone from any local crafts store,

and parchment paper.

Then, you will need to cut a strip of the parchment paper which equals the

Put the baking tray into the oven, preferably the middle of the oven, and then flip the cone mixture halfway into

the bake-time.

The total bake-time should only be about 8 to 10 minutes long.

If your dish is really high or heavy, it may take up to 20 minutes to fully

The best thing to do is keep an eye on your cones.

Once a sufficient amount of cone-baking time has passed, remove the

tray from the oven.

Use your spatula to loosen the cookie from the baking sheet.

Once freed, you will need to roll up the cookie into a cone-shape; make sure

that the seam is facing down.

Once you have your cone rolled, stick it back in the oven for 15 to 30

seconds so that it can harden into the cone-shape.

When the cone is complete, the very last step is to buy your favorite type of ice cream and plop it atop the newly
