Whipped Brie Cones with a Balsamic Vinegar Reduction

Servings: 12 cones
Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 57 g unsalted butter, soft, but cool to the touch (4 Tbs)
  • 8 g sugar (2 tsp)
  • 32 grams all-purpose flour (3 Tbs + 2 tsp)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 Tbs sesame seeds
  • 8 ounces whipped brie (see note)
  • 1-2 Tbs balsamic vinegar reduction (see note)

Instructions

  • Make a 3 1/2- to 4-inch stencil by cutting a hole in the middle of a plastic lid. Trim off edges of the lid so you can scrape batter smooth with a spatula.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times to combine and whip the butter until pale. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
  • Add flour and salt, and pulse to combine and whip. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
  • With processor running, add egg white and process until smooth and light. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
  • Place a silicone baking mat on the counter. Place the stencil in one corner and spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons of batter inside the stencil. Scrape smooth and even with an offset spatula. Move stencil to make another disk about 1/2 an inch away. Continue making circles of batter until the baking mat is covered.
  • Transfer the baking mat to a baking sheet. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Bake for 4 minutes, or until the disks firm slightly. Remove the pan from the oven and place on a work surface.
  • Working rapidly, flip the dough circles and roll around cream horn molds, leaving them seam side down.
  • Return to oven and bake 4 to 6 minutes longer, or until golden brown. Slide cones from the cream horn molds, and, if necessary, return to the oven until crisp.
  • Place on paper towels to cool.
  • Set cones upright, pipe to fill with whipped Brie, and top with 2 to 4 drops of balsamic reduction.
