Gluten Free Ice Cream Cones


My mom has a waffle cone maker. She made hundreds and hundreds of ice cream bowls for my sisters wedding where they served ice cream with different things to mix in the ice cream. It was so much fun, and the kids loved it. Ever since I've wanted to make ice cream cones with it. I didn't even know that the waffle cone maker came with a plastic cone shape to wrap the cookie around to shape it like a cone. Really I can't tell you how much fun my children and I had making these, even if it did take a few tries. :] We used the recipe that came with the waffle cone maker. It took a few tries with many different variations to make it more healthy. I loved how it finally turned out! I think they taste just like a waffle cone you get at the ice cream shop, minus the gluten and fat. :] So if you know someone with a waffle cone maker, or you can buy them here, try this recipe, so yummy!!
Gluten Free Ice Cream Cones
Ingredients
1 whole egg
1 egg white
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cups evaporated cane juice
2 tablespoons applesauce
1 cup gluten free flour
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum or guar gum
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
In a bowl mix with a fork, the egg, egg white, and salt. Then add evaporated cane juice and mix with a mixer until it becomes light in color, about 1 minute. Stir in applesauce. In a separate bowl add flour and xanthan gum, mix well then add to the egg mixture. Stir in vanilla. Spray waffle maker with cooking spray. I cooked mine on setting 4. You'll have to see how dark in color you want your depending on the cooking setting. After it is cooked, wrap around the cone shape and pinch the bottom to make sure there isn't a hole. Let cool for 1 minute then remove from cone shape. Once cooled all the way add Rice Dream Frozen Dessert and enjoy!!!

Fun Food Find Friday!!

Today's Fun Food Find I introduced yesterday. I know I probably should have waiting, but I was so excited about the ice cream sandwiches I really couldn't help it! Rice Dream and Almond Dream Frozen Desserts. So far there isn't a flavor that haven't liked, and so far I've only seen gulten free flavors. When I saw the Praline Crunch a few weeks ago I had to buy it. Growing up my most favorite flavor of ice cream was Pralines and Cream. I had it in ice cream cake every year for my birthday. When I tried Praline Crunch, I was extremely surprise at how similar it was to the real thing! I was completely satisfied. So now for my birthday this year I'm going to experiment and try to make my self a ice cream cake!
I've only seen these at the health food stores.

Ice Cream Sandwiches

Was the wait too much for you? :] These ice cream sandwiches are so incredibly delicious! The cookies, from Tuesday, are so soft and chewy similar to store bought ice cream sandwiches. But remember these are practically fat free! Even after 6 weeks of being in the freezer the cookies are immediately soft while the ice cream stays frozen. They didn't taste like freezer burn either!!

I used Rice Dream and Almond Dream 'ice cream', though it is really dairy free. There are many different varieties. The ones I like the best so far in the ice cream sandwiches are; Mint Carob Chip, Carob Almond, Strawberry (my children really liked this one), and vanilla. I haven't tried praline crunch yet, it's just my favorite one and I wanted you to see one of each brand. :]
Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ingredients
Chocolate Chocolate cookie, found here
Your choice of ice cream
Plastic rap
Directions
Take two cookies that are similar in size (make sure they are completely cooled down). Flip them over. Take a scoop of slightly melted ice cream and place it in the middle of the bottom side of one of the cookies. Take the second cookie and place the bottom of it on the opposite side of the scoop of ice cream. Slightly smash cookies together until the ice cream comes to the edges of the cookies. Wrap in plastic rap, place on a cookie sheet, and put in freezer. Do not stack them until the ice cream is frozen again. Once the ice cream is refrozen you can take the ice cream sandwiches off the cookies sheet. Enjoy this extremely low fat, low gluten, guilt free treat!
