How to Make a Sugar Free Waffle Cone
This is the perfect recipe to pair with your favorite ice cream.
I like that this recipe can be made without a bunch of sugar added to it.
Did you try my easy recipe for Cherry Frozen Yogurt?
That recipe for frozen yogurt would go great inside of this cone recipe.
Neither recipe calls for added sugar as well!
I seem to be always reaching for some ice this time of there. You should see these Super Cool Ice Cube trays that can make beverages even more fun!
People seem to wonder how do they make waffle cones.
I must admit that there is something about waffle cones that makes them more exciting than the usual sugar cone. Not only do waffle cones make ice cream look better, they seem to be a bit more sturdy than the other kind of cone.
You may be surprised at how easy it is to make a waffle cone at home.
Once you make the batter, it is a snap to make the cone. Once the cone has taken shape, you can fill it up with the yummy stuff!
This is especially for anyone asking for a sugar free waffle cone recipe
We all know how hard it can be to find a cone that does not have sugar in it.
I am pretty sure that sugar free waffle cones are not even available in the town that I live in.
To make this recipe you will need a waffle cone maker.
You can find waffle cone makers online here. Make sure that yours comes with a waffle roller. Please note that a simple waffle maker is a different product and will thus, probably not work for this recipe.
Here are some tips for making homemade waffle cones.
Once your waffle cone in done, be quick when removing the waffle from the waffle maker. This is because the waffle starts to harden within 5-10 seconds making it important to start rolling the waffles immediately.
Here are some more helpful tips.
- I am always in awe when I see someone with a waffle cone has been 'lined' with chocolate. You can find sugar free chocolate chipsto melt and then line your cones with here . Allow the melted chocolate to harden before putting ice cream inside.
- Add a bit of food coloring to the batter to make your cones more colorful.
- Another option for that melted chocolate would be to partially cover the cone with melted chocolate. Dip your waffle cones in melted sugar free chocolate and sugar free sprinkles for a sweeter treat.
Have you ever wondered what is the difference between sugar and waffle cones?
Looking at a sugar cone and a waffle cone side by side would demonstrate that there is a difference in both size and construction of the cones. Waffle cones are generally larger cones that are made thicker and more sturdy to hold what I would say is a more serious amount of the cold stuff.
Here are some recipes ideas for what to put inside of your cones..

- In a mixing bowl, use a whisk or fork to blend together flour, the unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder until just combined.
- Next, in a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar alternative and butter for one minute. Then stir in the dry ingredients from the first bowl until the ingredients are just combined. Lastly, stir in the vanilla extract, milk, and mix to combine.
- Spoon about a quarter cup of the batter into the waffle cone maker and spread the batter evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and check for doneness. It could take up to a minute to entirly cook the cone depending on your waffle maker.
- Quickly remove the waffle and shape it around the cone roller. Once the cone holds its shape (15-20 seconds) you can place it on the parchment paper and repeat until done.
- Waffle cones can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
