Ice Cream Cone (Single Scoop)

A waffle structure supporting frozen happiness/Food & Drinks

A single scoop of ice cream on a sugar cone weighs about 130-150 grams total. The standard scoop is about 6 cm in diameter and contains roughly 140 calories. Ice cream must contain at least 10% milkfat by US law. The cone was popularized at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair when an ice cream vendor ran out of dishes and a neighboring waffle maker rolled his waffles into cones.
