Cookies & Cream Waffle Cup Delight Explosion

Serving: Serve immediately after assembly to keep the waffle cups crisp and the ice cream cold.

Storage: Best enjoyed fresh! However, you can pre-scoop the ice cream into the cups and freeze them, adding toppings just before serving.

Make-Ahead Tip: Set up an ice cream bar where guests build their own waffle cup desserts for a fun interactive treat.

Variations:
Flavor Twist: Try using chocolate or cookies and cream ice cream for double the flavor.

Add Fruit: Add sliced strawberries or bananas for a fruity balance.

Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle crushed nuts (like almonds or peanuts) for extra texture.

Sauce Swap: Swap chocolate syrup for caramel or strawberry sauce depending on your mood.

FAQ:
Q: Can I use regular bowls instead of waffle cups?
A: Absolutely! You can serve this in small dessert bowls if waffle cups aren’t available, though you’ll miss that extra crunch.

Q: How far in advance can I make these?
A: You can scoop the ice cream and freeze them in the cups a few hours ahead. Add toppings right before serving to avoid sogginess.

Q: Are there dairy-free options?
A: Yes! Use non-dairy ice cream and coconut whipped topping for a lactose-free version.
