Frozen Yogurt + Pizzelle Cones

I had a major craving for Pinkberry the other day and I decided to indulge and remembered how much I love tart, plain frozen yogurt. Making my own frozen yogurt is much more affordable than going to Pinkberry every other day! And this is such a delicious recipe and so easy to make that I definitely recommend trying it yourself. You won't regret it!

I also wanted to experiment with my pizzelle maker so I decided to make mini cones and although they don't hold a lot they are the perfect little spoon to scoop up this wonderful frozen yogurt.


Frozen yogurt + fresh fruit + pizzelle = A wonderful dessert.

• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup whole milk

Special equipment: an electric pizzelle maker; a 5 1/2-inch cone-shaped pizzelle mold

Heat pizzelle maker and lightly brush top and bottom of pizzelle molds with butter. Pour batter into bottom of each pizzelle mold. Close cover and cook batter until golden, about 2 minutes.

Working quickly (pizzelle are pliable only while hot), peel off 1 pizzelle and wrap around cone mold, overlapping ends, and pinching tip closed. Hold cone in place until it hardens, about 5 seconds, then slip off mold and repeat with remaining pizzelle. Make more pizzelle and cones in same manner.
