Rainbow Dipped Waffle Cones: A Fun and Easy Dessert Recipe
I have a real soft spot for dipped waffle cones. What began as a passionate love for chocolate-covered and sprinkle-topped treats as a child has blossomed into a full-blown
ice cream obsession. I’ve sampled countless scoops and cones, from small local shops to popular chains like Dairy Queen. But there’s something truly special about creating your own DIY dipped waffle cones that elevates a simple dessert to a whole new level of deliciousness.
And guess what? You can even make your own waffle cones using a panini press! It’s true! All you need is a simple waffle batter and a hot panini press, and you’re just minutes away from enjoying crispy, crunchy waffle cone perfection. Making your own waffle cones is easier than you think and the result is a delicious and impressive treat.
Of course, if you’re short on time, you can always take the convenient route and use store-bought cones. Then, all that’s left is to melt your
candy melts
in your favorite colors. Candy melts come in a wide array of vibrant colors, so I’ve chosen pink, orange, yellow, and blue for this recipe. Now, here’s a crucial tip for achieving the perfect melting consistency: add a splash of vegetable oil to the melts before microwaving them. The added oil will help thin the melts, making them ideal for easy and even dipping. This will prevent clumpy or uneven coating on your waffle cones.
Once you’ve dipped your cones into the
candy melts, immediately add a generous shower of rainbow sprinkles. Make sure the sprinkles adhere to both the inside and outside of the cone for maximum visual appeal and a delightful burst of sweetness. And that’s all there is to it! You’ve successfully transformed a basic
ice cream dessert
into a show-stopping masterpiece. Now, grab your favorite ice cream (or
5-minute frozen yogurt) and get ready for some serious scooping fun! These rainbow dipped waffle cones are perfect for parties, celebrations, or simply a sweet treat on a warm day.
