How To Make Pancake Art: Ice Cream Cone

Directions:

1. Begin by putting all ingredients for your favorite pancake mix inside the Whiskware™ Batter Mixer and shake.

2. With your freshly mixed pancake batter, pour some into the Whiskware™ Pancake Art bottle, add 1-2 tsp coco powder to create a chocolate batter, add mini BlenderBall® whisk and shake.

3. With the pancake art bottle's chocolate batter, draw the cone of the ice cream cone and wait 30 seconds for it to cook a little, then use the regular pancake batter from the Batter Mixer to fill in all gaps from the cone.

4. Next, draw the outside boarder of the ice cream on top of the cone with the pancake art bottle's chocolate batter.  Wait about 30 seconds, then fill in the middle with the regular batter from the Batter Mixer.

5. Once the pancake is cooked on one side, flip it over and cook the other side.  When the pancake is fully cooked, remove it from the griddle.

6. Now for the finishing touches.  Add whipped cream to the top of the "ice cream cone".  Sprinkle the whipped cream with some colorful sprinkles.  Finish it off with a cherry on top of the whipped cream. Enjoy!
