Method
 

Heat-treat and mix the 3 doughs
  1. Heat-treat all measured heat-treated flour on a sheet pan until fully hot, then let it cool completely before mixing to make the dough safe to eat.
  2. For birthday cake dough, mix heat-treated flour, butter, sugar, milk, vanilla, and rainbow sprinkles until thick and scoopable.
  3. For chocolate chip dough, mix heat-treated flour, butter, brown sugar, milk, vanilla, and mini chocolate chips until thick and scoopable.
  4. For peanut butter dough, mix heat-treated flour, peanut butter, butter, sugar, and milk until thick and scoopable.
  5. Chill the 3 doughs for 20 minutes so they hold their shape in the waffle cones.
Layer in waffle cones and finish
  1. Scoop birthday cake dough into the base of each waffle cone.
  2. Add a scoop of chocolate chip dough over the birthday cake layer in each cone.
  3. Top with peanut butter dough to complete the three-layer stack.
  4. Drizzle warm hot fudge over the top of each cone, then scatter rainbow sprinkles and add a cherry on top.
  5. Serve immediately for maximum cone crunch, or wrap in parchment to gift.

Notes

Pro tip: Heat-treating the flour is non-negotiable—cool it fully before mixing so your dough stays thick. Store leftover cones in the fridge up to 24 hours, but expect the waffle to soften; freezing isn’t recommended. If you need a dairy-light swap, use plant-based butter and milk in the same amounts to keep the dough creamy.
