Biscuit Cone

A biscuit cone is a crisp, often wafer-like, baked product typically made from flour, sugar, and fat. It is formed into a cone shape while still hot and pliable, creating a hollow vessel. These cones are commonly produced using a batter cooked in a specialised waffle iron, then shaped before cooling and hardening.

Biscuit cones are primarily used as edible containers for ice cream and other frozen desserts. Their crisp texture and slightly sweet flavour complement the cold treat. They are also sometimes used as a base for other desserts or as a crunchy snack component.

Biscuit cones are not considered food additives and therefore do not have an E-number or require authorisation on the Register of Food Additive Authorisations. They are primarily composed of carbohydrates and fats. Like many baked goods, they can be a source of calories and sugar. The UK's Eatwell Guide advises that free sugars should not exceed 5% of total dietary energy, and adults should aim for a diet low in fat, salt, and sugar.
