Jäätuuppeja

Jäätuuppeja, a Finnish term, translates directly to "ice cream cones" in English. This refers to the edible cone used to hold ice cream. Typically, these cones are made from a batter of flour, sugar, and oil, baked until crisp. The shape is conical, widening at the top to accommodate a scoop or multiple scoops of ice cream.

There are generally two main types of jäätuuppeja. The first is the plain, crispy waffle cone, which has a subtle sweetness and a delicate texture. The second is the harder, biscuit-like cone, often referred to as a sugar cone, which is more robust and has a pronounced sugary flavor. Both are designed to be eaten along with the ice cream, providing a crunchy contrast to the creamy dessert.

Jäätuuppeja are a popular way to serve ice cream, particularly during warmer months in Finland. They are commonly found in ice cream parlors, supermarkets, and kiosks. The cone itself can be plain or sometimes coated on the inside with chocolate or other toppings to add further flavor and prevent the ice cream from melting through too quickly. The simplicity and portability of the jäätuuppeja make it a beloved treat for people of all ages.
