Berries & Cream Cones

Don't these look Yummy? I love the way the way they are displayed in tall shot glasses/juice glasses. They would be perfect for a 4th of July soiree or birthday party. This recipe comes from Everyday with Rachel Ray:


Berries & Cream Cones
Serves 10

1 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons sugar
Grated peel and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 lb. fresh cherries, halved, plus 10 whole cherries for garnish
1 pint mixed berries(raspberries, blueberries, blackberries
6 ounces milk or dark chocolate
20 sugar cones



1. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice and the lemon peel. Mix well and refrigerate.
2. In a medium bowl, toss the halved cherries and mixed berries with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 to 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Refrigerate.
3. Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high, 20 to 30 seconds at a time, until the chocolate just starts to melt. Stir until smooth. Using a pastry brush, paint the inside of the cones with the melted chocolate. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 15 minutes.
4. To serve, stand the sugar cones in narrow glasses. Place a dollop of the sour cream mixture in each cone, then fill with the mixed berries. Top with another dollop of sour cream and garnish with a whole cherry.
