Ice Cream in Crispy Chocolate-Coconut Cones
- 1 tablespoon unsalted melted butter, plus more for brushing
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (3 ounces)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped and melted
- Strawberry or dulche de leche ice cream, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Trace a 6-inch circle onto 5 separate sheets of parchment paper.
- Turn the sheets over and brush butter inside the rounds and 1 inch beyond the traced rims.
- Form a 12-inch sheet of foil into a 6-inch long cone.
- Wrap another sheet of foil around the cone to smooth the surface.
- In a food processor, process the coconut until fine.
- Add the sugar, eggs and 1 tablespoon of the melted butter; process until the batter is combined.
- Transfer the batter to a bowl.
- Set 1 of the prepared sheets of parchment on a baking sheet.
- Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of the batter onto the buttered round.
- Using an offset spatula, spread the batter to the edge of the circle in a thin and even layer.
- Bake the tuile for 6 minutes, or until golden all over.
- Immediately transfer the parchment paper to a work surface.
- Carefully roll the tuile around the aluminum-foil cone, pressing it into a cone shape; let cool for 1 to 2 minutes before removing the foil cone from inside the tuile.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, using each piece of parchment paper twice and buttering the rounds between batches.
- Using a small pastry brush, coat the inside of each cone with melted chocolate.
- Brush the outer rim of the cone with a 1/2-inch band of melted chocolate.
- Transfer the cones to a baking sheet lined with wax paper and chill until set.
- Fill with scoops of ice cream and serve at once.
