You will need a bit of practice rolling the waffle cones - most of them will crack or break at the beginning. But don’t give up; the whole process is worth trying because the homemade ice cream cones are divine. They are crunchy, flavourful, aromatic, not too sweet and totally free of food additives. An electric waffle cone maker is necessary for this recipe, but these machines are now relatively cheap and available online. The cone waffle batter is easy to prepare and consists only of a few simple ingredients. Find the recipe here.
Homemade French Vanilla Ice Cream
A rich taste, smooth, velvety texture and the scent of real vanilla make this ice cream compellingly addictive. It’s amazing in a crispy cone, perfect with a hot apple pie, caramel sauce or fresh fruits, a great base for a decadent warm chocolate topping. Handcrafted vanilla ice cream is a fantastic treat and a world apart from the store-bought stuff. A cooked custard base - very classic - can be used for any flavour you can dream up. Is there anything better than a big bowl of homemade vanilla ice cream on a hot lazy day? Find the recipe here...
