Red Raspberry Cones From Yankee Magazine Yield: 6 to 8 cones
Make these with any kind of berry, but be sure to mold the cones when they are still warm. Otherwise, they become brittle and break.
Cones: 2 eggs 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon cold water 2/3 cup flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine eggs and sugar; beat until thick and lemon-colored. Add water and flour; continue beating until smooth.
Grease and flour a baking sheet. Roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness; cut into rounds 4 inches in diameter.
Place on baking sheet and bake about 12 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. Remove rounds one at a time, leaving others in oven.
Form into cones gently with hands, working quickly so rounds stay pliable. Place cones in airtight container; freeze until ready to serve.
Mousse Filling: 2 egg whites pinch of salt 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar 2 cups red raspberries 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup whipping cream
Combine egg whites and salt; beat until stiff. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar; beat until stiff and glossy.
Crush raspberries; stir in 2 tablespoons sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla.
Whip cream until stiff; fold into meringue, then fold in berry mixture.
Freeze until firm. Before serving, let soften at room temperature.
To serve, spoon mousse into cones and top with a fresh berry or two. |
