Introducing Donut Cone, Ice Cream in a Cone Made of Donut

We need to stop trying to make ice cream healthier.  The whole frozen yogurt movement is fine, and if you really like fat-free ice cream, I’m happy for you.  But sometimes you’ve just gotta go for it, like this. An ice cream shop in the Czech Republic is now selling ice cream in DONUT CONES.  Apparently it’s been around for a while, but the Internet just discovered it. 

 

And it’s actually a modern take on a traditional Slovakian dessert called a trdelník.  (Pronounced truh-DEL-nick.) 

 

Basically it’s a funnel of fried dough, with sugar and crushed walnuts sprinkled on the outside.  Then they line the inside with chocolate syrup, and dump a bunch of soft serve ice cream in.

 

At this point you can only get it at a coffee-and-ice-cream place in Prague.  But hopefully it’s just a matter of time before we Americanize it and make it ours.
