How to Make a DIY Gluten Free Waffle Cone

A gluten free waffle cone makes the perfect base for scoops of your favorite ice cream, frozen yogurt, or gelato. With this easy gluten free waffle cone recipe, you can make homemade waffle cones in a snap! Making gluten free waffle cones is fun, too!

When we were first learning how to eat gluten free, there were NO gluten free ice cream cones available in the stores. My kids always had to eat their ice cream in a bowl, suffering the trauma of not getting a cone.

Well, where there is desperation, there is creativity.”

When gluten free frozen waffles hit the market, my kids took matters into their own hands….literally :-).

Today, you can buy fancy gluten free cones at many grocery stores, but my kids still prefer to make their own gluten free ice cream cones. And why not…it is so fun to smoosh waffles flat!

How to Make Gluten Free Waffle Cones

1. Use your palm to flatten a defrosted gluten free waffle. The flatter the better!

2. Pick up one end of the waffle and prepare to roll.

3. See how thin my son/assistant got his waffle?

4. Proceed to roll the bottom at an angle to form a cone shape.

5. Keep rolling the waffle. Keep the bottom very tight in that cone shape.

6. This is what the cone will look like when rolled.

7. Pinch the bottom closed so ice cream won’t drip out when it melts.

8. Put a foil ball into the waffle.

9. Bake for 10 minutes until crispy.

My son recommends trying this No-Churn Caramel Chip Ice Cream, or this No-Churn White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream in these cones :-).
