Big Ice Cream Cones

Ice cream cones are always a special treat but these are something special - homemade ice cream in waffle cones made on the premises and served at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Coffee Shop in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Photos courtesy of my friends Ann and Frank who made the sacrifice of eating the ice creams after they took the pictures!

Ice cream flavor: COFFEE

Extra: the orange biscuit-like ball wedged in the side is a macaroon. (Eaten by Ann)

I have a coffee ice cream recipe which you can try for yourself. It used fresh coffee as the key ingredient and is delicious!
