Chocolate Bubble Waffle (Eggette) Cone Ice Cream 朱古力雞蛋仔雪糕

Have you seen this Bubble Waffle Cone Ice Cream before?  I’m sure most of you had by now.  If not, you're in a treat today!  Apparently, it’s one of the latest food trend!  However, the bubble waffle itself  (Eggette 雞蛋仔) is no stranger to me!  It’s one of my favorite childhood street food from Hong Kong!  You can click here to check out my recipe and video tutorial on how to make the original/traditional version.



Today, I want to share the recipe of a chocolate version of the bubble waffle with you.  They are delicious on their own, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.  I used my favorite Valrhona cocoa powder for the waffle batter, so that they are packed with wonderfully deep, dark chocolate flavor.  After making the bubble waffle, I shape it into a cone shape while it’s still warm, by placing it into a cone shape wire rack (to hold its shape.)  The bubble waffle will turn crispy once it’s completely cooled.  I love this wire rack not only because of its shape, I am also re-using it as a serving rack for this dessert dish as well.  Not to mention that this rack was meant to be a french fries holder to begin with!  Hey, I love my kitchen tools that can multi-task!  I’ll list the information of this cone shape wire rack and other tools/ingredients that I used at the bottom of this post for your reference.



As you can see from my video and pictures, I filled the waffle cone with chocolate ice cream, freshly whipped cream, chocolate sauce, sprinkles, a cherry, Pocky sticks and a mini chocolate cupcake!  It’s a mouthful just to list the ingredients, however the taste of this chocolate overload is surely wonderful and out of this world delicious!  Without a doubt, it’s a glorious and outrageous dessert to make and enjoy!  Seriously, outrageously good! 



My Kids had so much fun sharing this treat together on a hot summer afternoon!  As you can see, they couldn’t wait any longer to devour this monster dessert down while I was still taking pictures!  It was that good!  Make someone happy, and make this treat for them!  I’m sure they’ll love it as much as we did!  What is your favorite treat during the hot summer days?  Ice cream definitely top our list!  Please share yours in the comment below.  I can’t wait to hear from you!  Take care and stay tuned for another wonderful recipe coming next week!

Basic Waffles Recipe…and Welcome to Our Home, Alice!

I finally gave in!  You might ask what have I given in to?  Well, as many of you know that I’m weak and softhearted when it comes to kitchen gadgets, photography props and my Kids; okay, and probably my Hubby, too (all in no particular order).  This time around, I gave in and got a waffle maker!  Well, I still can’t quite believe that I didn’t have a waffle maker until recently.  But ever since Alice (yes, sorry I can’t help it but to give the waffle maker a name, she’s a beauty!) arrived in my kitchen, I had been putting it/her to great use.  From these basic waffles, to chocolate ones, and waffle cookies, etc (I’ll be sharing the other two recipes with you in the near future).  Oh my, I’m so glad I took Alice home and didn’t hesitate a bit, okay, maybe just a tad.  But it’s totally worth it in the end.  



These basic waffles are light, crispy on the edges, airy, fluffy and tender on the inside.  The perfect waffle with a hint of vanilla aroma.  I love the subtle tanginess from the buttermilk which balance well with the sweet maple syrup. 




My Hubby loves his waffles in the more traditional way, which is served with a slice of soften butter and maple syrup (just like the one shown in the picture above).  I love it like that too but the full size waffle is a bit too big for me and the Kiddos.  So, I made them in smaller sizes as well and they were perfect portion for a light breakfast or an afternoon treat.   



I totally adore the smaller version as I can get more crispy edges for each waffle.  These basic waffles are a cinch to make, too.  Best of all, they can be stored and reheated really well.  I usually double the recipe and cook all the waffles at once.  The extra waffles can be stored in freezer-safe ziploc bags until you need them.  To reheat, simply pop one or two in the toaster oven until warmed up and crispy.  They are perfect when you’re in a rush to get breakfast on the table (and I always seem to be in a rush, especially in the morning!)



My Kids love their waffle with a little freshly whipped cream and strawberries slices.  I like this version just as much as the traditional one with butter and maple.  I highly recommend that you try both and decide which one you like better.  I bet it’ll be a tough decision for you to make too.  But hey, why just pick one when you can enjoy both, right?



I hope you enjoy today’s post and recipe.  Stay tuned for more yummy recipe and restaurant reviews in the near future.  Last but not least, thank you, Alice, for joining our family!  We love you!  And we will live happily ever after.  The End!
