Wafer cones

Wafer cones are a delicious crunchy and sweet base, perfect for accompanying ice creams, desserts, and creative recipes. These cones are made from a thin, sweet dough that is baked until it achieves a light and brittle texture, giving them that characteristic crispness that is delightful in every bite.

Their origin dates back to Europe, especially in countries like Italy and France, where they are traditionally made to serve ice creams and other cold desserts. Over time, their popularity spread to the rest of the world, establishing them as a classic and versatile accompaniment in various culinary preparations.

Among their properties, it stands out that they are low in fats and proteins, primarily providing simple carbohydrates due to their content of flour and sugar. Their lightness and texture make them an ideal element for giving structure and an attractive presentation to desserts, in addition to adding a crunchy element without invasive flavors.

In the Hispanic American sphere, wafer cones may also be known as barquillos, barquillitos, or simply ice cream cones. In some countries, these terms are used interchangeably, though they always refer to that sweet and crunchy cone that accompanies desserts and ice creams.
