"I noticed Sublime Doughnuts in Atlanta is adding a new sweet: a doughnut ice cream cone called the “CoNut” (pronounced “cone-nut”), available with or without ice cream. Owner and baker Kamal Grant says he tinkered with recipes for several weeks to land on a sugar-coated, soft spiral based on a cream cone pastry; he shapes the doughnut into a spiral and submerges it in hot oil rather than flipping it like a standard fried doughnut, then coats the cone with a hard chocolate shell to prevent leaking before finally rolling it in sugar. Grant says, “I made it because I thought a doughnut would make a better vessel for ice cream than a standard cone,” and adds that it “tastes like taking your girl to a carnival and winning her a stuffed animal.” The CoNut is $3 without ice cream or $6 with ice cream, is currently available by request at the Home Park and North Druid Hills locations, and will officially be on the menu after Memorial Day; Sublime Doughnuts is open 24/7 (sublimedoughnuts.com)." - Mike Jordan
