Fresh Berry-Filled Cones
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 23 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons Pimm's Cup
- 16 ounces heavy cream
- 1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons, confectioners' sugar
- 1 pint fresh raspberries
- 1 pint fresh blackberries
- 16 ounces mascarpone
- 20 large mint leaves, rinsed
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Butter two cookie sheets, then cover with waxed paper and butter.
- Draw five 5-inch circles on the paper.
- To make the cones, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Place approximately one tablespoon of batter in each circle and spread batter evenly to cover the entire circle.
- Be sure the batter is spread very thin.
- Bake one pan at a time for five minutes, or until the edges are golden.
- Working quickly, peel each circle from the waxed paper and bend into a cone shape with the underside facing out.
- If cookies on the pan become too firm, return to oven for a few seconds.
- Let molded cones cool.
- Meanwhile, place the heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer, add two tablespoons of confectioners' sugar and mix until soft peaks form, approximately two to three minutes.
- Fill the cones with berries and allow to cascade out of large end.
- Place a dollop of whipped cream and a dollop of mascarpone on each cone.
- Sprinkle the entire cone with confectioners' sugar and place one mint leaf on each dollop of mascarpone and heavy cream.
