Yield: 6
Ingredients
- 1 large egg (55g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (U.S. option HERE)
- 30g erythritol (U.S. option HERE)
- 20g hemp seed oil (U.S. option HERE)
- 40g almond flour (U.S. option HERE)
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum (U.S. option HERE)
- 30g unsweetened hemp seed milk (U.S. option HERE)
Instructions
- heat up your ice cream cone maker.
- whisk egg and vanilla extract until foamy, then add erythritol and whisk again until creamy and airy (I find an electric hand-held whisk works best - see notes).
- incorporate hemp oil and whisk for another 10 seconds, then add remainder of dry ingredients and, you guessed, whisk again until gluey and very dense.
- now add milk, stir with a fork and finally, whisk so it's all nicely incorporated.
- plop about 1.5 TBSP of batter on the centre of the bottom plate (DON'T SPREAD IT) and VERY SLOWLY lower the lid.
- cook 2-3 minutes (every machine is different - see notes).
- using a heat-proof, non-metal flexible spatula, lift the waffles off and onto a clean, flat tea-towel.
- working quickly, place your cone tool with the tip against the border and roll, maintaining pressure on the tip.
- leave the cone with the outer seal facing down, while you start making the next cone.
- your first cone will have already hardened at this point, so remove cone tool by twisting and jiggling gently, then place the cone in the stand (U.S. option HERE) to air dry.
- repeat until you've used up all the batter, for 6 cones in total (8 small).
Notes
When mixing small quantities, I find a hand-held tool is easier and less messy. Just don't buy a cheap one that will burn out easily. Choose a powerful motor. I use THIS ONE (U.S. option HERE).
If the mixture becomes too thick, add a little extra milk to loosen it.
These cones can just stay uncovered at room temperature, for several days, without losing their crisp texture.
If you want to make cups, rather than cones, just drape the wannabe-cones over a small upside-down bowl, shape them, and let them air dry.
Metric kitchen scales are an inexpensive yet invaluable gadget to ensure accurate measurement of ingredients. Store them upright in a cupboard or over your worktop and they'll only take up a tiny bit of space. Click HERE for the ones I use. For U.S. option click HERE.
