The Crispy Cones Guide: How We Make Our Cones
If you are a fan of premium desserts, you have probably wondered what makes our treats taste so uniquely delicious. Today, we are taking you behind the scenes of the kitchen. Here is a look at exactly how we craft our famous dough, what goes into the baking process, and what delicious surprises await you inside a Crispy Cone pastry.
Does Crispy Cones Make Their Cones?
Yes! We absolutely make our cones fresh. We do not use pre-made, factory-ordered waffle cones or mass-produced wafer sleeves. Every single Crispy Cone starts as fresh dough made daily. It is carefully handcrafted right in our shops so that it is served warm and fresh to you. This dedication to freshness is what gives our dessert its signature texture—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
How Does Crispy Cones Make Their Cones?
Our unique baking style brings a historic European tradition right to your neighborhood. We do not drop our dough into a standard waffle iron. Instead, we use a specialized rotisserie grilling method. Here is exactly how the magic happens step-by-step:
The Dough: We start with our secret recipe, handcrafted dough that we prepare fresh every single day.
The Wrap: We roll the dough into a strip and wrap it carefully around a wooden dowel.
The Rotisserie Oven: Our cones are never fried! The dough-covered dowel goes into our specialized rotisserie Oven. As it spins over the heat, it bakes evenly, creating a beautiful golden-brown exterior while keeping the inside light and fluffy.
The Sugar Roll: Immediately after coming off the grill, the hot cone is rolled in a generous layer of cinnamon sugar or one of our specialty flavors!
What Is Inside a Crispy Cone Pastry?
Once the cone is grilled to perfection, the real magic begins. A crispy cone is built in layers to give you a mix of textures and flavors in every bite. Inside our pastry, you will find:
The Spread: We coat the warm, interior of the cone with a rich spread. You can choose from options like Nutella, cookie butter, peanut butter, or strawberry jam.
The Soft-Serve: We fill the cone to the brim with our premium gourmet soft-serve ice cream. We alternate our flavors weekly, but you can always count on finding classic vanilla, rich chocolate, a fruit option, or a specialty rotating flavor.
The Toppings: We top off the ice cream with a variety of gourmet additions, including crushed Oreos, fresh fruit, graham crackers, or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
The Drizzle: We finish it all off with a final drizzle of chocolate, caramel, or more cookie butter.
