It's that time of the year!!! Well, to be honest in our house it is ALWAYS that time of the year as we eat ice cream by the pound :), but this time, the heat was much worse for much longer than I'd like during summer.
I was wondering if I can make something to make our ice cream feasts a bit more special..
Homemade ice cream is definitely on my list next, and to have the home made theme kicked off I'd decided to start with something easier: the cones.
50 g butter
3/4 dl sugar
1 dl coarsely ground almond flour
2 tbsp half-half
2 tbsp all purpose flour
cups, glasses, cereal mugs turned upside down
Preheat the oven to 175C, 350 F and line two baking sheets with paper, as well as some cups turned upside down.
In a pot mix butter, sugar, half-half and almond flour, and bring to boil. Remove from heat and sift in the flour, stirring continuously.
Scoop 2 tsp of batter/cup, and flatten them slightly. I had two trays, large ones, and made 6 lace cups, 3 in each. They tend to extend a LOT, so leave enough space in between.
Bake for about 6 minutes, until golden brown (5 might be enough if you have a strong oven).
Remove them from the oven, and carefully pull the parchment paper with the cups to a flat, cold surface. Let them cool slightly, but not too much or they'll not bend anymore.
Move the hot lace circles on top of the prepared cups/mugs, and let them cool.
When cold and hardened use them to serve your ice cream of choice.
They are cold lace cups for a reason, they'll let the ice cream drip through. Place them on plates or something you'd serve the ice cream in..
Bon appétit!
