A waffle cone is a type of ice cream cone made from a sweet, crispy batter that is cooked in a waffle iron. This process gives the cone its distinctive grid pattern and a delicious flavor. Waffle cones are typically larger and sturdier than regular cones, allowing them to hold more ice cream. These cones are popular for serving ice cream and are often used in ice cream shops and parlors. They can be filled with various flavors of ice cream and topped with sprinkles, syrups, or other toppings, making them a favorite treat during warm weather.
