GUF FOR ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• Blend strawberries and sugar in a food processor for 3-4 min at high speed. Whip egg whites and sugar to a stiff meringue. Fold the strawberries and lemon juice into the meringue. Serve right away or keep very cool.
• Tip: its important that the egg whites, bowl and utensils all be the same temperature to get good, stiff peaks. Also, to avoid salmonella risk, do not cheat and use unpasteurized eggs.

ICE CREAM CONE CAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Sit the cones in a muffin tin to hold them upright.
• Put the butter, flour, custard powder, vanilla, sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric whisk until smooth. If you have nimblefingered little helpers, hand round pairs of teaspoons and set them to work filling the cones. If you're making them yourself, spoon the cake batter into a food bag or disposable piping bag, snip off the end to give you a wide hole, then pipe into the cones, filling them ¾ full - this will enable you to get the batter right to the bottom.
• Bake the cone cakes, still in the muffin tin, for 30 mins until a skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool.
• To decorate the cakes, beat the butter until smooth, then add the icing sugar and vanilla, and beat again until well mixed. Put into a piping bag fitted with a big star nozzle, then pipe icing on top of each cake as you would a cupcake. Decorate with sprinkles, cherries, drizzles of sauce - whatever you like.

ITALIAN ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F In a medium bowl, beat the sugar into the egg until it is thickened and pale yellow. Beat in the butter, vanilla, and milk. Gently stir in the flour.
• Grease a nonstick cookie sheet and spread 1 1/2 tablespoon of the batter into a 6 inch circle using a thin, flexible spatula. Dipping the spatula in water first make 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. (*** HINT HERE*** - in case you don't want to go out and buy the cones these can be made into bowl cones simply by picking 4 bowls all the same shape and size, and place the hot cookie over the bottoms of the bowls. The cookies will fall around the sides of the bowls.) 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 from the molds when completely cool.
