Ben and Jerry's Burrito

"Ben and Jerry's is releasing an ice cream "brrr-ito" on 4/20. It's a "soft and chewy waffled crepe-like wrap enveloping two scoops of any Ben & Jerry's flavor, topped with fudge and chocolate cookie crumbs."

Looks like B&J is cutting corners on the "wrap." That's the same container material as the pale tasteless cardboardy cones I abjured in my yute. The quality cones were darker, crunchier and actually tasty.

I wouldn't touch those socialists confections if you paid me too.

It's a sugar cookie dough made as a batter and fried as a thin waffle. So it's a matter of the recipe and quality waffle iron.

Too bad. It's a specific waffle iron, not a multi purpose tool. A dreaded uni-tasker and we don't like those. $50.00 for a waffle iron that does one thing. You must consume a lot of ice cream cones to justify the expense. But then what the heck, you can't take it with you, and you poop it all out anyway, and you only live once, eh?

A cheaper model for half cost but the cheaper iron gets bad reviews. Without reading you can imagine the problems, hinge, lock, switch, uneven heating element, no off switch, conks out, cheap cord, light not work, made in China, what have you.

The recipe should be close to a fortune cookie, don't you think? The amount of sugar inside is what helps turns toasted things like this brown (plus the heating element, of course). The dark brown ones would be brown sugar. I cannot imagine much flavor beyond plain vanilla.

* egg whites
* sugar
* vanilla extract
* salt
* flour
* butter

Whip egg whites and sugar with vanilla.

Add salt and half the approximate flour. Whip.

Add melted butter. Whip

Add remaining flour to adjust to desired consistency to either work with your uni-purpose waffle iron or spread thinly onto a parchment-covered baking sheet using an offset spatula, for flat, unindented poor people's trailer park cones or little baskets formed around ramekins while the cookies come straight from the oven and before they set hard.
