Doughnut ice-cream cones are the new dessert trend sending social media into a frenzy.
Legend has it the trend began Prague, where ‘chimney cakes’ are a traditional street food. The sweet pastry is made with yeast-raised dough, and is rolled on a wooden cylinder before being baked over open fire.
Flipped upside-down, theyβve become a popular cone for soft-serve, with Aussie bakeries and patisseries jumping on board. Not suprisingly, Adriano Zumbo’s Italian cafΓ© Little Frankie’s has lead the charge, with toppings including gummy bears, pretzels, 100s and 1000s, and popcorn. South Yarra’s Tivoli Road Bakery also brought back its soft-serve-filled doughnuts for the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.
South Australian bakery, Bakery on O’Connell, has gone one step further, offering its own version of the treat: the Doughnut ice-cream cone. Combing three trends in one proved to be a good decision, with the bakery getting national media attention.
