2011 winning Praline Persimmon Mousse Cornucopias
Mary Jo Losey’s
| 6 sugar ice cream cones
|
3/4 cup persimmon pulp
|
| Vegetable cooking spray
|
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
|
| 1/2 of a 17.3 ounce package puff pastry
sheets (1 sheet thawed)
|
1/2 cup heavy cream
|
| 2 tablespoons sugar
|
1 cup caramel topping, warmed
|
| 1/2 cup milk
|
1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans
|
| 1 package (about 3.4 ounces) of
vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
|
Directions: Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap each cone tightly in aluminum foil, covering it completely and tucking any excess foil into the cone cavity. Spray the foil cones with the cooking spray. Sprinkle flour on the work surface. Unfold the pastry sheet on the work surface. Cut the pastry sheet along the fold marks to form 3 rectangles. Cut each rectangle lengthwise into 4 strips, making 12 strips in all.
Press the ends of 2 pastry strips together. Starting at the pointed end of the cone, wind the pastry strips around one cone, slightly overlapping edges of the pastry (strip will not reach the bottom of the cone). Spray the pastry cone with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Place the pastry cone on its side, with the end of the strip facing down, onto a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cones and pastry strips.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Let the pastries cool completely on the baking sheet on a wire rack. Carefully remove the foil cones from the baked pastry.
Beat the milk, pudding mix, persimmon and cinnamon in a medium bowl with a whisk until the mixture is thickened.
Beat the heavy cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the persimmon mixture. Spoon or pipe the mixture into the pastry cones.
Stir the caramel topping and pecans in a small bowl. Place the pastries onto serving plates and drizzle with the caramel mixture.
