Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Blender
  • Waffle iron
  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric or hand mixer
  • Piping bag and nozzle

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 3 egg whites room temperature
  • 2 cups almond flour finely ground and blanched
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • Ingredients For The No-Bake Caramel Mint Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese softened at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup canned caramel Dulce de Leche
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
  • Fresh mint leaves optional

Instructions

  • To start, blend the eggs and egg whites until they become completely smooth. Then, add the remaining ingredients and blend the mixture at a high speed for a minute.
  • The result should be a smooth and lump-free cone batter. Set the batter aside until you are ready to use it.
  • Place the waffle cone maker on a medium-high heat setting. Lightly spray the surface with non-stick cooking or baking spray. Then, add about 2 tablespoons of batter into the center of the iron and close the lid.
  • Allow the waffle to bake for only 2 minutes or until the batter has just set. Then, carefully remove the waffle from the plate and shape it into a cone.
  • Pinch the end to close it up and set the cone on a flat surface. Repeat the steps until you have roughly 25 cones or until your batter runs out.
  • To make your almond mint cheesecake filling, place the cream cheese and caramel into a large mixing bowl. Beat the ingredients until you have a fluffy lump-free mixture.
  • Then, add the sifted powdered sugar along with the vanilla and mint extract. Make sure the ingredients are well mixed before adding the filling to a piping bag.
  • Once your cones have hardened and the filling has been made, you can assemble them. Pipe some filling directly into the cone, making sure to start right at the bottom. This way, you will have a generous amount of filling.
  • Then, repeat this step until all of your cones have been filled. If you are serving them immediately, top them with tiny fresh mint leaves. But, if you are storing them for later, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • Work quickly when making the almond waffle cones because they do set and harden very quickly. You can use a cone mold to help easily get the cone-like shape. An ice cream cone also works well. Just make sure to pinch the end of the waffle to ensure no filling runs out of the bottom.
  • If you want your filling to be stiffer, add more cream cheese to the recipe. Remember, as the cones and filling are allowed to set in the fridge, the firmer they will get.
  • Your cones won't stay crispy for very long. Especially once you have filled them with cheesecake or if they are kept in the fridge. Moisture causes the cones to lose their completely dried-out crisp texture.
  • To keep cones crisp, you will have to keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. Do not fill them and keep them away from any heat. This can cause the container to sweat, which will create moisture and make them soggy.
