Panini Press Waffle Cone

Prep time: 40 min (including rest time) | Cook time: 30 min | Total time: 1 hr 10 minYield: 14 ice cream cones

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a medium bowl with a whisk or electric mixer, whip the cream and vanilla together until it is mousse-like. Sift the remaining dry ingredients together in another bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the cream and stir to make a batter. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the panini grill to medium high heat (about 375°F).

For each ice cream cone:

1. Place a heaping tablespoonful of batter onto the grill and close the lid, completely pressing the batter. Grill for about 90 seconds or until the pressed cone is browned but still malleable; it will be an oblong shape. Carefully transfer the pressed cone to a cutting board or piece of waxed paper.
2. Position your cone mold in the center of the pressed cone, leaving about 1/2″ of space between the long edge of the pressed cone and the pointed end of the cone mold.
3. Working quickly and carefully (the cone will be very hot!), roll the pressed cone around the cone mold to shape it.
4. Leave the cone on the mold for about 10 seconds to set the shape.
