As we have already mentioned, bubble waffles allow for different creative representations that are very easy to shape at home. Regarding the waffle as it is, you can simply sprinkle it with your favorite fruit, chocolate and / or ice cream. You just have to give free rein to your imagination!

Finally, give free rein to your creativity and decorate your bubble waffles.

Bubble waffles shaped into cones

Let's get down to the basics and find out how to recreate the famous cone-style bubble waffles. So this task is not at all complicated! Once the waffle comes out of the waffle iron, thoughtfully shape it into a cone shape. As it cools, the sweet delight will become stiff and retain its shape. Then fill the cooled cones with your favorite ice cream and add toppings of your choice: fruits, sprinkles, cookies and so on.

Taco-style bubble waffles

Shaping bubble waffles into taco shapes is as easy as creating cones. So, once the treat is out of the waffle iron, gently fold it into the shape of a taco shell and place it in a container (cake tin, for example) where it will keep its shape. Let cool for 10 minutes. Finally, decorate your taco style waffles as you see fit. Here you can opt either for a sweet variant or for such a salty one. If you like to experiment, add cooked eggs, salad, or sausage instead of ice cream and fruit.
