Quest Bar Ice Cream Cones With Two Healthy Ice Cream Recipes

Is it possible to make a simple, healthy, protein-packed Quest Bar Ice Cream Cone?  The answer is YES!  Good news for all of us fitness fanatics who prefer to #CheatClean for our desserts, rather than to dive headfirst into a tub of Ben & Jerry's.

After a recent visit to Baskin Robbins (I swear I only ordered a small scoop!) I found myself craving one of their waffle cones.  I can't eat waffle cones because I avoid gluten like the devil, and the only gluten-free ice cream cones I'm aware of are the boring, cardboard-like cup cones.  Yuck.  I couldn't get the thought of a crispy waffle cone out of my mind so I decided to make my own.

Once again Quest Bars to the rescue!

To make the cones, I used my grandmother's pizzelle iron.  If you're unfamiliar with this little gadget, it is an Italian cookie machine.  It look similar to a waffle iron, but has smaller grooves and makes absolutely delicious cookies.  I have NOT tried the recipe with a regular waffle maker, so experiment at your own risk.  I can only vouch for the pizzelle machine.  If you don't own one, check with a good Italian family in your neighborhood.  Otherwise if you're in the area, you're free to borrow mine!

I did go a little crazy with the cones and dipped the tops in chocolate and sprinkled them with just a few colorful sprinkles.  OK, maybe more than a few, but think of the calories I saved with the homemade ice cream!

 Yonanas Banana Ice Cream
