MERINGUE CONES
Posted as taken from "The Ultimate Ice Cream Book" These aren't true cones; in fact they're not even shaped like cones - more like shells. They're still a great way to serve ice cream, put lemon curd or your favorite preserve, puddings or custards, or pie fillings into. And since so many recipes call for egg yolks, this is a great way to use up all those leftover egg whites.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°F In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add the salt and cream of tartar. Continue to beat until soft peaks form. Slowly beat in the sugar, turn beater to high, and continue to beat until the mixture is thick and shiny, about 2 minutes.
- Butter and flour a large cookie sheet. Create the shells by placing 1/2 cup of meringue, in a mound, on the cookie sheet. Using a wet spoon, make a depression in the center about 4 inches wide (big enough to hold a large scoop of ice cream). Take care to leave at least 1/4 inch of meringue on the bottom.
- The meringue shells will not spread, so place them close together and fit as many as you can on the cookie sheet. Bake for 2 hours. Turn off the oven, open its door. Allow the meringues to sit in the oven until cool. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
- ***Variations***.
- CHOCOLATE CHIP MERINGUES - Mix 3/4 cup miniature chocolate chips into the meringue just before creating mounds. Proceed with the recipe as directed.
- CINNAMON MERINGUES - Add 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon along with the sugar. Proceed with the recipe as directed.

Steps:
- Combine the egg whites and confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Mix with a fork to avoid incorporating air, then slowly add the melted butter, then the honey. Add the flour and stir until smooth. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 1 hour, then use right away. (If storing for later use, make sure you let the batter come to room temperature for 1 hour before use.)
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a half-sheet baking pan with a silicone baking mat.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of batter on the silicone liner using the back of a spatula to make a perfect 5-inch circle. Repeat to make a second circle.
- Bake the ice cream cones until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Using an offset spatula, immediately but gently lift the batter off the pan and roll into a cone, overlapping the edges and pressing the edges firmly to seal. (If you need to adjust the cones after they have cooled, place them back in the oven for 20 seconds and they will become soft and pliable again. Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.

CHRISTMAS TREE ICE CREAM CONES
Sugar cones filled with your favorite ice cream get a festive makeover for a sweet Christmas dessert. This recipe is perfect for getting the kids involved but equally as fun for treat lovers of all ages. The cones are frosted with a classic Swiss meringue, which holds up well in the freezer, so these can be made a few days in advance. Be sure to save an egg carton as it will come in handy when filling the cones. This recipe calls for mint chocolate chip ice cream, but any flavor will work! Additionally, it calls for store-bought pound cake, but any cake scraps will do the trick.

Steps:
- Slice the pound cake crosswise 1/2 inch thick. Place an ice cream cone open-side down on 1 slice and stamp out a round of cake; remove the round to a plate. Repeat until you have 8 rounds of cake. (Save the cake scraps for another use).
- Turn a cardboard egg carton upside down. Cut a hole big enough to snuggly fit the pointy side of a sugar cone in 8 of the cups with a sharp paring knife. Insert 1 cone into each prepared hole. Fill the cones with ice cream, leaving 1/2 inch of space at the top. Press the cake rounds on top of the ice cream to cap it off. Place the egg carton in the freezer while you make the meringue.
- Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan that can hold a heatproof stand mixer's bowl above the water, but not touching the water.
- Whisk the sugar, egg whites, vanilla and salt in the stand mixer bowl. Set the bowl above the boiling water and continue to whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the egg whites are slightly frothy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat at medium-high speed until the meringue is cool and can hold very stiff peaks, about 6 minutes. Add the food coloring and beat until just combined.
- Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a small star piping tip (see Cook's Note). Working with 1 cone at a time (leave the remaining in the freezer so the ice cream does not melt), place round-side down on a wire rack-lined baking sheet then pipe small stars all over the cone until completely covered. Decorate with sprinkles. Transfer to a plate and freeze while you decorate the remaining cones. Alternatively, use a small offset spatula to spread the meringue onto the cones and then decorate with sprinkles. Freeze until ready to serve, up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Melt the butter and allow to cool.
- Beat egg whites until soft peaks appear. Add 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar and the salt, and whip until stiff. With a wooden spoon, gently fold in remaining sugar and the vanilla. Gradually fold in flour and cooled butter until incorporated.
- Heat the iron and rub with a lightly oiled piece of paper towel, then place 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter on it and close the cover. When steam subsides, check to see if wafer is golden brown. Remove it gently with a thin spatula; then, moving quickly, roll the wafer around a paper cone. It will cool and harden almost immediately. Store in an airtight container.
HOMEMADE ICE CREAM CONES
These cones are in between a crepe and store-bought sugar cones. They're a huge hit with all my friends! If you have extras, store them in an airtight container, unroll, and re-crisp in a 400 degrees F oven.

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.

EASIEST, MOST DELICIOUS MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM
I have tried every meringue buttercream recipe I could get my hands on over the years. I make it to decorate all our children's (and husband's) cakes and cupcakes. This is my recipe. It is easy, quick, and perfect: perfect for frosting, decorating, and eating. It is delicious. This makes a generous amount. You will not run out when frosting and decorating two 9 inch round cakes.

Steps:
- Place the egg whites and sugar into a metal bowl and set over a pan filled with about 2 inches of simmering water. Heat, stirring frequently, until the temperature of the egg whites reaches 140 degrees. They will feel very hot to the touch.
- Transfer the heated egg whites and sugar to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Mix at high speed (or as high as you can go without egg flying out of the bowl) until they have reached their maximum volume, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix on medium or medium-high speed while pinching off small pieces of butter and throwing them in. Mix in vanilla if using. The buttercream may look like it is breaking down, but keep on mixing and it will come back together.

Tips:
- Use fresh egg whites: Fresh egg whites are essential for making successful meringue cones. Older egg whites may not whip up as well and can result in a less stable meringue.
- Whip the egg whites gradually: Start whipping the egg whites on low speed and gradually increase the speed to high. This will help to incorporate air into the egg whites and create a stiff meringue.
- Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form: The meringue is ready when it forms stiff peaks. This means that when you lift the whisk out of the meringue, the peaks will hold their shape.
- Fold in the sugar gradually: Once the meringue is stiff, gradually fold in the sugar. Be careful not to overmix the meringue, as this can cause it to deflate.
- Pipe the meringue cones onto a baking sheet: Use a pastry bag fitted with a star tip to pipe the meringue cones onto a baking sheet. Make sure to leave enough space between the cones so that they don't touch during baking.
- Bake the meringue cones at a low temperature: Bake the meringue cones at a low temperature (200°F) for 1-2 hours, or until they are dry and crispy.
Conclusion:
Meringue ice cream cones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create your own unique and festive ice cream cones that are sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a fun and creative dessert, give meringue ice cream cones a try!
