Puffed Ice Cream Cones

These Unusual Ice Cream Cones are Based on a Hong Kong Street Snack

— August 18, 2015 — Lifestyle
A Santa Ana-based ice creamery is selling an unusual ice cream cone that is inspired by a popular Hong Kong street snack. In Hong Kong, local residents enjoy a tasty treat called an egg waffle. This unusual dish is made from egg-based batter, which puffs up into bubbles that cradle the ice cream inside.

The new ice cream cones are made by Cauldron Ice Cream, which is currently the only place to offer this tasty street snack outside of southeast Asia. The ice creamery labeled its new dish 'puffle cones' and serves them with homemade ice cream. The delicious ice cream is made from liquid nitrogen and comes in a variety of eccentric flavors, including 'red velvet,' 's'mores' and 'Vietnamese coffee.'

The unusual puffed ice cream cones have proven to be a massive hit among customers and have quickly become a classic summer treat.
Trend Themes
1. Egg-based Cones - Businesses can consider innovating with egg-based cones as a unique offering for their ice cream or dessert business.
2. Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream - Incorporating liquid nitrogen into ice cream production can be a trend for ice cream shops looking for a fun and interactive experience for their customers.
3. Unusual Flavors - Ice cream shops and dessert parlors can experiment with out-of-the-box flavors to attract customers looking for a unique taste experience.
Industry Implications
1. Ice Cream Shops - Ice cream shops can incorporate puffle cones to their menu to add an Asian twist to their offerings.
2. Dessert Parlors - Dessert shops can experiment with egg-based cones for their unique texture and add innovative flavors to create a new trend in delicious treats.
3. Street Food Vendors - Food vendors can create hybrid dishes like egg waffles and ice cream to create a new market for themselves in the food industry.
