Oven Baked Sugar Cones For Ice Cream Recipes

HOMEMADE SUGAR CONES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites over medium speed until soft peaks form.
• Add granulated sugar and mix well.
• Add flour, butter, milk, and vanilla extract; mix just until blended.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Draw two or three 7-inch circles on the paper.
• Spoon 3 Tbsp. batter into the center of each circle. Spread in a layer to cover the entire circle.
• Bake at 400° 6-7 minutes; remove from oven.
• Use a metal spatula to remove wafers from baking sheet. Place a cone form in the center of each wafer and roll the wafer around the cone.
• Press gently at the seam to seal; place seam-side down to cool. Cones will harden as they cool.

HOMEMADE ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until frothy. Whisk in the butter, milk and vanilla. Gradually whisk in the flour and salt until smooth. The batter should be thin; you can stir in more milk if needed.
• Heat a small skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush the pan lightly with oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and turn to spread out the batter into a thin circle. When the underside is golden brown, flip over and cook until golden on the other side. Remove from the pan and form into a cone while it's hot, squeezing the end to seal. Place on a wire rack to cool and harden completely. Repeat with the remaining batter.

ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove center of a 12-inch tube pan and cover pan with a double layer of heavy-duty foil. Use a skewer or paring knife to poke 12 small holes in the foil, 2 1/2 inches apart. Gently place a cone in each hole, pushing it down until only about 1 inch of cone is showing.
• Make cupcakes: Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of milk, and beating until combined after each. Fill each cone with 2 to 3 tablespoons batter. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Decorate cupcakes: Tint some of the buttercream pink with gel-paste food color, if desired. Use an ice cream scoop to place buttercream (untinted or pink) on top of cupcake, then top with sprinkles. For "soft-serve" cones, use a pastry bag fitted with only a coupler (or a large plain tip) to pipe buttercream in a swirl over cone, then top with multicolored sprinkles; or, for "sundae" cones, drizzle melted chocolate over buttercream, then sprinkle with peanuts and top with a cherry. For soft-serve "twist" cones, fill a pastry bag fitted with an open-star tip (Ateco No. 828) with untinted and chocolate buttercreams, placing them side by side in bag; pipe two-tone swirls. Serve immediately.

ICE CREAM CONE TREATS

Steps:

• If desired, dip ice cream cones in melted chocolate to coat edges; stand in juice glasses or coffee mugs., Place sprinkles in a shallow bowl. In a microwave or in a large saucepan over low heat, melt marshmallows and butter; stir until smooth. Remove from heat; stir in cereal., Working quickly, use buttered hands to shape mixture into 12 balls; pack firmly into cones. Dip tops in sprinkles.

PUFF PASTRY CONES

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.

ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the butter and cool it.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sugar and vanilla. Stir in the salt and half of the flour, then mix in the melted butter. Beat in the rest of the flour until smooth.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use the back of a big spoon to spread 2 level tablespoons of the batter into a circle 6 inches across. Try to get the circles as even and smooth as possible. Cook's Note: You're likely to get 2 rounds on one standard baking sheet.
• Put the baking sheet in the oven, and begin checking the cones after about 10 minutes. Depending on your oven, they'll take between 10 and 15 minutes to bake. The circles should be golden brown throughout (some lighter and darker spots are inevitable so don't worry). Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use a thin metal spatula to loosen the edge of one disk. Slide the spatula under the disk, quickly flip it over, and immediately roll it around a cone form
• Press the seam firmly on the counter to close the cone and pinch the point at the bottom securely closed. Let the cone cool slightly on the mold until it feels firm, then slide it off and stand it upright in a tall glass to cool. Roll the other cones the same way. Repeat, using the remaining batter.
• Place in cone holder of some sort to cool. Glasses work well.
• Serve up with one or two scoops of your favorite ice cream.

OVEN-BAKED SUGAR CONES FOR ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F.
• In a medium mixing bowl, beat the sugar into the egg until it is pale yellow. Beat in the butter, vanilla, and milk. Gently stir in the flour.
• Grease a large non-stick cookie sheet and spread 1/2 tbsp of the batter into a 6-inch circle using a thin, flexible spatula. Dipping the spatula in water first makes this job easier. The batter will spread about 1/2 inch while baking, so keep the circles about 1-inch apart. Fit as many circles as you can on 1 cookie sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and use a large metal spatula to remove 1 cookie from the sheet. Handling it carefully so as not to burn your hands, immediately wrap the hot, pliable cookie around a cone shaped mold, sealing the point. Repeat with the remaining cookies. The cookies will harden as they cool, so work as quickly as possible. Let the cookie sheet cool and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Remove the cones from the molds when completely cooled.
• *** Variation - for Bowl Cones***.
• Invert 4 small , clean, identical bowls to use as molds. Place the hot cookies directly over the bottoms of the bowls. The cookies will fall around the sides of the bowls and harden as they cool. When cool enough to handle, carefully remove the cones from the bowls and repeat with any remaining warm cookies.

ICE CREAM CONE SLICE-AND-BAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• For the cookies: Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in 1 egg and the vanilla until incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
• Turn the dough out of the bowl and bring it together. Remove 3/4 cup dough and set it aside (this will be for the cone). Put 1/2 cup of dough into a medium bowl, add the cocoa powder and mix until combined (this will be for the chocolate ice cream). Put 1 cup dough into a medium bowl, add 1 drop red food coloring and mix until combined (this will be the strawberry ice cream). Place the remaining 2 teaspoons dough into a small bowl, add 2 drops red food coloring and mix until combined (this will be the cherry).
• For the cone: Lightly dust a work surface. Roll the reserved 3/4 cup uncolored dough into a 10-inch log. Press the entire length of the log into an isosceles trapezoid shape. Use a ruler to help flatten the sides and top. The top of the trapezoid should be about 1 inch wide and the bottom should be about 1/4 inch wide. The sides should be about 1 inch tall. Put the log on a piece of plastic wrap. Prop the dough up against a loaf pan with the bottom resting against the counter. Alternatively, if you have 2 loaf pans, place them upside down, next to each other lengthwise. Add a piece of plastic wrap long enough to cover both pans with a slight overhang. Press the cone dough into the plastic wrap between the pans to your trapezoid. Flatten the top.
• Make the strawberry ice cream: Roll the pink dough into an 11-inch log. Use a ruler to flatten one side of the log so the log is a half-circle shape. The dough will spread as you shape it; the flat side of the log should be about 1 1/4 inches wide. Brush the flat side with the egg wash and press it on top of the cone.
• Make the chocolate ice cream: Roll the chocolate dough into an 11-inch log. Use a ruler to flatten one side of the log so the log is a half-circle shape. The dough will spread as you shape it; the flat side of the log should be about 3/4 inch wide. Brush the flat side with the egg wash and press it on top of the strawberry ice cream.
• Make the cherry on top: Roll the red dough into a 12-inch rope. Brush one side with egg wash and press on top of the chocolate ice cream. Wrap the entire ice cream cone in plastic wrap and freeze until hard, about 30 minutes.
• Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Cut 1/4 inch off each end of the ice cream log with a very sharp knife to reveal the ice cream cone shape. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices about 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, rotating about halfway through, until crisp and just starting to turn brown on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
• Make the royal icing: Meanwhile, combine the confectioners' sugar and meringue power in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons water and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the icing forms thick and glossy peaks, about 2 minutes (adding up to 1 tablespoon more water, if needed). Remove half of the icing to a small resealable plastic bag. Add the beige food coloring to the mixing bowl and beat on low speed until the color is incorporated. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag. Put the chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each, until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer the chocolate to a third small resealable plastic bag.
• Cut a very small hole in the corner of each of the plastic bags. Pipe the white icing on the chocolate ice cream to mimic whipped cream. Sprinkle with a few rainbow sprinkles. Pipe a few dots of chocolate onto the strawberry ice cream and top with a few mini chocolate chips. Pipe the beige icing in a diagonal crisscross pattern on the cone. Let the icing and chocolate harden completely at room temperature before serving, about 15 minutes.
