What kind of dessert always feels terrified when you take it out of the freezer for a hot summer day?
An ice cream cone
This riddle relies on a humorous pun where the dessert is literally shaking with fear before being eaten. The phrase 'shaking' plays on the idea of being unstable, which sounds remarkably like the texture of a waffle cone. Therefore, your favorite frozen treat is trembling not from cold, but from nervous anticipation.
