Cone with Chocolate Filled with Fruit Salad

The cone with chocolate filled with fruit salad is a fresh and delicious dessert, perfect for the summer season or as a colorful and fun end to a meal. Here’s how to prepare it:

Ingredients

• Ice cream wafer cones
• 200 g of dark chocolate
• Fresh fruit to taste (e.g. strawberries, kiwi, peaches, bananas, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1-2 tablespoons of sugar (optional)
• A few drops of lemon juice
• Mint leaves to decorate (optional)

Preparation

1. Start by cutting the fresh fruit into small pieces for the fruit salad. Place the fruit in a bowl and, if desired, add a bit of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice to enhance the flavor. Gently mix and let it rest in the fridge.
2. Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, being careful not to burn it. Once melted, stir the chocolate until it reaches a smooth and even consistency.
3. Take the ice cream wafer cones and dip them into the melted chocolate to coat the inside and rim. You can gently twirl the cones to let excess chocolate drip off.
4. Invert the chocolate-coated cones onto a rack or parchment paper, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, then place them in the refrigerator to harden the chocolate.
5. Once the chocolate has cooled and solidified inside the cones, fill each cone with the fresh fruit salad.
6. Decorate each cone with a mint leaf to add a touch of color and freshness to your dessert.
7. Serve immediately to enjoy the cool fruit salad with the crunchy contrast provided by the chocolate.
