Ice Cream Recipes - Cones (Le Cialde Dolce)

Ingredients

  • 150 g/5 oz butter

  • 3 tablespoons caster sugar

  • 3 eggs, separated

  • 6 tablespoons plain flour

  • extra virgin olive oil

  • salt

Method:

  1. For this recipe an Italian waffle iron is needed (electric ones are available). These have shallow round moulds about 18 cm/7 inches in diameter, and are marked with a criss-cross or 'waffle' pattern. They are sold in specialist kitchen shops and catering suppliers.

  2. Remove the butter from the refrigerator 1 hour before you need it. Cut it into small cubes and leave in a bowl to soften. Using a wooden spoon, beat the butter until it forms a smooth cream. Add the sugar and beat in.

  3. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating with a balloon whisk to form a soft paste. Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then delicately fold them into the mixture using a metal spoon.

  4. Heat a waffle iron on both sides over a medium heat. Brush the iron with olive oil. Spread a 2 mm/1/16 inch thick layer of the paste over the waffle iron. Close the iron, put it on the heat and cook for 1 minute on each side. Remove the cialde with the point of a knife and form into a cone while still hot.
