A delightful tray of mini dessert cones filled with a creamy mascarpone and whipped cream mixture, topped with fresh berries, dark chocolate drizzle, and edible glitter. Perfect for easy celebrations and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • About 20 mini ice cream cones (plain preferred)
  • 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1/2 cup blueberries (optional)
  • 2 oz (60 g) dark chocolate, melted
  • Edible glitter or sprinkles, for dusting
  • Mint leaves, a few small leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before starting.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid overwhipping.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese until smooth. Add 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract, mixing gently to combine.
  4. Slowly fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula, keeping it light and airy with no lumps.
  5. Dice 1 cup fresh strawberries and measure blueberries. Pat dry to prevent soggy cones.
  6. Spoon or pipe the mascarpone cream mixture into each mini cone, filling about 3/4 full.
  7. Top each filled cone with a few pieces of diced strawberries and blueberries.
  8. Melt 2 oz (60 g) dark chocolate gently in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth.
  9. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the fruit-topped cones using a spoon or small piping bag.
  10. Sprinkle edible glitter or sprinkles lightly over the cones and add a small mint leaf if desired.
  11. Chill the tray in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and keep cones crisp.

Notes

Keep all ingredients and tools cold to ensure stable, fluffy filling. Do not overwhip the cream. Fill cones about 3/4 full to avoid mess. Melt chocolate carefully to avoid burning. Assemble cones close to serving time to prevent sogginess. Leftovers should be stored upright in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
