<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ice crone (a.k.a. crone, croissant cone, ice cream croissant,<\/a> croissant ice cream cone, or soft-serve croissant) is an innovative dessert that merges the elegance of a familiar French pastry with the indulgence of a childhood frozen treat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Origin of croissant ice cream cones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The “crone” was originally patented in the U.K.<\/a> back in 2016 by Dum Dum Donuterrie<\/a> as food artisans sought to push the boundaries of dessert innovation. Inspired by the traditional croissant and ice cream cone, the concept of combining the two resulted in the birth of this cone-shaped pastry\u2014although this early version closely resembled the donut cone<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, DiGiorno turned its croissant crust into a “Crust Cones” for National Ice Cream Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June 2023 ice crones became a viral sensation thanks to British Patagonia<\/a> in London, U.K. Although this is a recent revival, they are quickly spreading throughout Europe and worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flavors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ice cream croissant offers a wide range of flavor possibilities. While the croissant itself keeps its usual buttery flavor, any ice cream flavor can be used. Although the most popular are classic ice cream options like vanilla and chocolate, more unique choices such as salted caramel or lavender-infused ice cream can be paired with the buttery croissant to create a harmonious blend of tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, various toppings can be added. Chopped pistachios and pralines to chocolate syrup and sprinkles can be added for additional facets of flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Textures <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The crone stands out not only in flavor but also in texture and temperature. The outer layer of the croissant cone provides a satisfying crunch, while the interior remains soft and buttery. Also, either scooped or soft-serve ice cream can be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contrast between the flaky exterior and creamy interior, along with the frozen ice cream, intensifies the sensory experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
