- Chill the filling in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
Assemble the Cones:
- Stand the waffle cones upright in a cone holder or glasses for stability.

Notes
- Prevent Sogginess – Brush the inside of the cones with melted chocolate and let it set before filling.
- Gluten-Free Option – Use gluten-free cones and wafers.
- Make-Ahead Friendly – Store filling separately and assemble cones just before serving.
- Leftover Ideas – Use extra filling as a dip for fruit or spread on toast.
