Fresh Berry-Filled Cones

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. Step 2

   Butter two cookie sheets, then cover with waxed paper and butter. Draw five 5-inch circles on the paper.

3. Step 3

   To make the cones, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until a smooth batter forms.

4. Step 4

   Place approximately one tablespoon of batter in each circle and spread batter evenly to cover the entire circle. Be sure the batter is spread very thin.

5. Step 5

   Bake one pan at a time for five minutes, or until the edges are golden.

6. Step 6

   Working quickly, peel each circle from the waxed paper and bend into a cone shape with the underside facing out. If cookies on the pan become too firm, return to oven for a few seconds.

7. Step 7

   Let molded cones cool.

8. Step 8

   Meanwhile, place the heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer, add two tablespoons of confectioners' sugar and mix until soft peaks form, approximately two to three minutes.

9. Step 9

   Fill the cones with berries and allow to cascade out of large end.

10. Step 10

    Place a dollop of whipped cream and a dollop of mascarpone on each cone. Sprinkle the entire cone with confectioners' sugar and place one mint leaf on each dollop of mascarpone and heavy cream.
