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!
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.
Instructions:
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.
What brands of frozen waffles are gluten free?
There are quite a few great gluten free frozen waffles that you can buy in stores. We love Van's gluten free waffles, Kashi gluten free waffles (really check the label to make sure the ones you grab are gluten free!), Trader Joe's (wheatless), and now Eggo brand has a gluten free version of their waffles.
My son recommends trying this No-Churn Caramel Chip Ice Cream, or this No-Churn White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream in these cones :-).

I have a metal tortilla press. I think it will work beautifully.
I have been wanting a waffle cone for so long. You have a smart kid ?. Too bad I can’t post a picture of the tortilla press. Blessings!
