sugar cones

Conical waffle holders

Sugar cones are the crisp, conical waffle-like shells used to hold ice cream scoops.

Made from a sweet batter baked until golden brown, they have a honeycomb texture and slightly caramelized flavor.

They're sturdier than cake cones and don't go soggy as quickly: I'll take two scoops in a sugar cone.
