Edible Ice Cream Bowls

Carl's Jr.'s New Ice Cream Sundae is Served in an Edible Bowl

Carl's Jr. recently upgraded its dessert menu with the release of an ice cream sundae served in an edible bowl. When buying ice cream, customers are traditionally forced to choose between a cup or a cone. This tasty new dessert offers the best of both worlds with a waffle cone that doubles as a bowl.

The new Waffle Bowl Ice Cream Sundae was recently spotted at a Carl's Jr. location in Southern California. The dessert consists of hand-scooped vanilla ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce and served in an edible bowl. The waffle cone bowl helps to eliminate any mess from dripping ice cream while also adding a deliciously crunchy texture to the sundae.

Although it is not clear if Carl's Jr. will roll the new dessert out nation-wide, it does demonstrate the chain's effort to expand its current dessert menu.
