Coconut Tuile Cones With Passion Fruit Ice Cream Recipes

PASSION-FRUIT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk together sugar and eggs. Heat cream in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until it just reaches a boil, then add hot cream to egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking. Pour custard into saucepan.
• Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until it registers 170°F on an instant-read or candy thermometer (do not let boil). Pour custard through a fine sieve into a clean bowl and cool completely. Stir in passion-fruit pulp, then chill, covered, until cold.
• Freeze custard in ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.
• Available in Latino markets.

COCONUT TUILE CONES WITH PASSION-FRUIT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Bring butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup to a boil over moderate heat, stirring. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until dough is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in coconut and cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Crumple foil to form a solid cone (about 6 inches long and 3 inches across widest part) for shaping cookies.
• Drop 2 (1-tablespoon) portions of dough 6 inches apart on a buttered baking sheet and pat each into a 5-inch round with your fingertips. Bake in middle of oven until golden, 6 to 8 minutes (cookies will spread to about 6 inches).
• Let cookies stand on baking sheet until just firm enough to hold their shape, about 2 minutes. Gently loosen cookies from baking sheet with offset spatula, then turn over so smooth sides are facing up. Roll 1 cookie onto cone and cool on cone until cookie holds cone shape, about 15 seconds, then carefully slip off onto a rack to cool completely. Shape remaining cookie in same manner. (If cookies become too brittle to roll onto cone, return baking sheet to oven for a few seconds to soften.) Make and shape more cookies with remaining dough.
• Put 3 small scoops ice cream into each cone and put cones on plates.
