Fruit Cornucopias with Gluten-Free Waffle Cones

2 Mins read

Celebrate the season with these adorable and nutritious Fruit Cornucopias! Made with homemade gluten-free waffle cones and filled with fresh fruit, they’re a healthier, festive addition to any fall gathering or Thanksgiving table.

Fruit Cornucopia Ingredients

Egg: Adds protein and helps bind the waffle cone batter for a sturdy texture.

Coconut Sugar: Coconut sugar is a natural sweetener with a lower glycemic index, making these cones a bit friendlier on blood sugar.

Vanilla: Enhances the flavor without adding sugar or artificial ingredients.

Butter: Adds richness and a crispy texture to the cones.

Nut Milk: Provides a dairy-free alternative

Gluten-Free Flour: Using a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour keeps these cones light and crispy while suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.

Waffle Cone Maker: This is the maker that I got from Amazon. 

Tips For Perfect Fruit Cornucopias

Work Quickly: The waffles cool and harden fast, so shape each one immediately after removing it from the waffle cone maker.

Choose Smaller Fruits: Smaller fruits like berries and grapes fit well and won’t make the cones soggy.

Get Creative with Fillings: Try mixing in some yogurt or a light dusting of cinnamon on the fruit for extra flavor!

FAQs

Can I make these waffle cones in advance?
Yes, you can make them a day or two ahead. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature, and fill them with fruit just before serving.

Can I use other sweeteners?
Yes, maple syrup or honey can work, but they may change the texture slightly. Coconut sugar gives the best crunch.

Do I need a waffle cone maker?
Yes, a waffle cone maker will give the best results. If unavailable, a standard waffle iron can work, though the shape will be slightly different.
