Hi!
A few questions:
1) When using a glass to form cones, will it come out easily without breaking its shape?
2) How long will it take for them to set, approximately?
Thank you!
They do come out, my mom uses a plastic cone glass I just didn’t have one. You can easily fix the shape if it doesn’t work well in a glass. I use to the glass for all the cones to be the same size.
They set pretty fast if you put them in the fridge. I waited an hour before I serve them, my kids eat them right away. Cover them so they don’t harden to much the next day.
