01
Step 1
Start by wrapping a sugar cone in a paper towel and popping it into the microwave for about 15 seconds, just until it’s soft enough to bend. While it’s still warm, carefully shape the narrow end upwards to create that classic cornucopia shape. Hold it in place for 20 to 30 seconds so it can harden and keep its form. Do this with each cone.

Step 2
Next, melt the white chocolate by microwaving it in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds, stirring every now and then until it’s smooth and melted. Pour some candied ginger into a small bowl. Dip the top edges of each shaped cone into the melted chocolate, then immediately press them into the candied ginger to coat.

Step 3
Set the cones on a wire rack to let the chocolate firm up. Once they’re ready, fill each one with grapes, and arrange them on a platter. Scatter any extra grapes around for a pretty, inviting touch.
Why you’ll love it
These treats are quick to make and look impressive. They offer a crunchy texture that pairs well with many fillings. Plus, using sugar cones gives a sweet twist without extra effort.
How to serve
Fill these crunchy cones with creamy desserts like pudding or mousse. Fresh fruit and whipped cream also work great. They make a lovely handheld treat for parties or casual gatherings.
Storage & leftovers
Store any unused cones in an airtight container to keep them crisp. Avoid humidity, as moisture will make them soggy. Filled cones are best served immediately for optimal texture.
