I went to the grocery store yesterday … so many berries are in season right now and on sale … buy one, get one free!  Red, white & blueberry cones were about to be created.

Here they are …

This is a very simple dessert and can be made early in the day and stored in the fridge until you are ready to serve it.

This is what you will need …

• 12 Sugar Cones
• 8 ounces melted white chocolate
• Cheesecake flavored Instant Pudding (small package)
• 1 – 3/4 cups Milk
• 6 ounces raspberries
• 6 ounces blueberries
• Red or Blue Sprinkles
• Whipped Cream

The cones can be made several days in advance and stored in an air tight container … it’s a real timesaver.  To make the cones … spoon melted chocolate in the cone … rotate it, to coat the entire inside … pour out the chocolate and tap the cone to remove excess chocolate … add sprinkles to the outside edge … set aside to let the chocolate harden up …

Make sure to check the inside for total chocolate coverage … because this seals the cone and won’t let the filling leak out … these cones are great for ice cream too!  Do you like my handy-dandy cone holder?  It is actually a barbecue tool for making jalapeno poppers … I love things that can be used for more than one thing … and the hubby has never used it …

Make the pudding (using 1 – 3/4 cups) following the directions on the package.  Fold in the berries … remember to reserve some for garnishing …

Fill the cones with the pudding mixture … you can store them in the fridge until you are ready to serve.  Garnish with whipped cream and reserved berries when ready to serve …

Perfect for a 4th of July gathering!

My honest opinion … I think these are great without pudding … just berries (a little sugar if needed) in a chocolate coated cone and topped with whipped cream … I added the pudding to make the family happy. 

I am looking forward to your honest opinions!
