Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 5 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
Number of servings: 8-10 cones

Ingredients:
- 2 tortillas (preferably store-bought for a uniform texture)
- 200 ml Hulala whipped cream (or any other high-fat whipped cream in a can)
- Fruits of your choice (strawberries, raspberries, bananas, peaches – use what you have on hand!)
- Palm oil (or sunflower oil) for frying
- 50 g chocolate (dark or milk, depending on preference)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar for decoration

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preparing the tortillas: Start by cutting each tortilla into four triangles. These pieces will be the base of your cones. Make sure to use quality tortillas, as they will determine the final texture of the dessert.

2. Forming the cones: Take each tortilla triangle and, using a toothpick, form a cone. Make sure to insert a second toothpick at the opening of the cone to keep it open. This will be essential for filling the cone.

3. Frying the cones: Heat the oil in a fryer to 190 degrees Celsius. Once the oil is hot enough, carefully dip a few cones into the oil. Let them fry for about a minute until they turn golden and crispy. Use a sieve or spatula to remove them from the oil and place them on an absorbent paper towel. This step will help remove excess oil.

4. Preparing the filling: While the cones cool, it’s time to prepare the filling. Whip the cream until it becomes firm. You can add a teaspoon of sugar to enhance its sweetness, but this is optional. Cut the chosen fruits into small pieces to make them easier to incorporate into the cones.

5. Filling the cones: Using a spoon or a pastry bag, fill each cone with whipped cream and then add the chopped fruits. Try to be generous with the filling, but be careful not to overfill them, as this may cause them to become soggy.

6. Decorating: Sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar over the cones to add a touch of sweetness. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie or microwave and carefully drizzle it over each cone for an elegant look and added flavor.

Serving: These crispy cones are best enjoyed immediately after filling. However, if you let them sit, keep in mind that they will soften. Therefore, it’s best to prepare them shortly before serving. You can also use a mix of berries for a burst of color and flavor.

Possible variations: You can experiment with various types of fillings, such as Greek yogurt with honey or chocolate mousse. You can also add nuts or almonds for extra crunch.

Savor every bite of these crispy and sweet cones, which are not just a quick dessert but also a true delight for the senses! Enjoy your meal!
