Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 sugar cones
¼ cup white chocolate chips
¼ cup finely chopped candied ginger
⅔ cup seedless black grapes
⅔ cup seedless red grapes
⅔ cup seedless green grapes

Steps:

  • Wrap 1 sugar cone in a paper towel and place in microwave. Microwave on high for 15 seconds, or until the sugar cone is soft and pliable. Working quickly and carefully, shape the end of the cone upwards into a cornucopia shape and hold it there until the cone re-hardens, about 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat this process with each cone.
  • Place white chocolate into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until chocolate is melted, stirring often. Place the candied ginger in a small wide bowl. Take one of the shaped cones and dip the top of the cone into the melted chocolate, and then into the candied ginger. Set cones on a wire rack to allow the chocolate to set.
  • Fill each cone with grapes. Place the cones on a serving platter and sprinkle any extra grapes around the cones.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 6 puff pastry cones

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 sugar ice-cream cones
Nonstick cooking spray
1 large egg
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of a 17-to-18-ounce package), thawed
Serving suggestions: berries and cream, no-bake cheesecake filling, chicken salad, scrambled eggs and smoked salmon

Steps:

  • Put an oven rack in the lowest position with a 6-inch clearance above and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut six 6-inch squares of heavy-duty foil and wrap each sugar cone to cover completely, tucking in any excess. Spray the outside of the foil generously with cooking spray and set aside. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl.
  • Unfold the puff pastry onto a work surface and cut it into 3 equal rectangles using the natural fold lines as your guide. Cut each rectangle into four 9-by-3/4-inch strips. You should have 12 strips (2 strips per cone).
  • Wrap the cones in puff pastry: Starting at the pointed end of the cone, wrap 1 puff pastry strip around the cone, overlapping slightly, to cover. Brush the end of the strip with some egg wash, stick a second strip to it and continue wrapping until the cone is completely covered. Seal the end of the second strip of dough by tightly pressing it to some of the wrapped puff pastry, using some egg wash to help the strip adhere. Repeat with the remaining cones and strips.
  • Brush the puff pastry all over with egg wash and put the cones pointed-end up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the puff pastry cones are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet on a wire rack, then remove the foil-lined sugar cone from inside each and discard. Fill the puff pastry cones with desired fillings such as: berries and cream, no-bake cheesecake filling, chicken salad, or scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.
