Soft Serve Cone

What is it?

Dispensed into a crisp wafer cone, vanilla soft serve is handed over for eating straight away. It's made from milk, sugar and flavouring, then frozen in a machine so the texture stays smooth and airy rather than dense. Cone is dry and brittle at first, then starts to soften as the ice cream melts into it. No sauce, no mix-ins and no toppings make this the bare-bones option in the dessert lineup. Sizes are small, usually a single serve, which is why it's often treated as a quick counter purchase rather than a full dessert.
