How to make Dulce de Leche Cones
Prepare the Dough
- Step 1
Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and cocoa powder.
- Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, honey, and sugar using a wooden spoon.
- Step 3
Combine the dry ingredients with the egg mixture, then add the softened butter. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
- Step 4
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Shape the Dough
- Step 1
After chilling, roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 3 mm (1/8 inch).
- Step 2
Use a round metal or plastic cutter to cut out 3 cm (1.2 inch) diameter discs.
Bake the Discs
- Step 1
Place the discs on a baking sheet and bake in a moderate oven (about 180°C/350°F) for 15 minutes. The discs should not brown.
- Step 2
Remove from the oven and refrigerate for 30 minutes to cool completely.
Assemble the Cones
- Step 1
Fill a piping bag with the dulce de leche. Pipe the dulce de leche onto each disc, forming a cone shape.
- Step 2
Chill the cones in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Coat with Chocolate
- Step 1
Roughly chop the chocolate and melt it in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water using the double boiler method.
- Step 2
Dip the cones into the melted chocolate or place them on a wire rack and pour the chocolate over them to coat.
Finish and Serve
- Step 1
Let the chocolate set for a few minutes, then sprinkle the cones with powdered sugar.

Tips & Tricks
Ensure the dough is well chilled before rolling it out to make it easier to handle.
Use pastry-grade dulce de leche for the best texture and flavor.
If the chocolate coating is too thick, add a small amount of vegetable oil to thin it out.
Store the cones in an airtight container to keep them fresh for longer.
