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.
Yield:
6 to 8 conesIngredients
Cones:
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cold water
2/3 cup flour
Instructions
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.

To serve, spoon mousse into cones and top with a fresh berry or two.
