waffle cone

Crunchy ice cream holder

A waffle cone is a crisp, cone-shaped pastry made from a sweet batter pressed and baked on a waffle iron, then rolled into shape while still warm and pliable.

It serves as an edible container for ice cream, distinguished from cake cones by its golden-brown color, grid pattern, and slightly chewy texture.

The waffle cone is sturdier than standard cones and often considered a premium option at ice cream shops.

I always get a waffle cone—it's worth the extra dollar.
