Yield Makes 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

All-purpose flour, for work surface
1 pound Puff Pastry Dough
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out pastry dough into a 12-by-18-inch rectangle. Brush off excess flour. Using a pastry wheel or sharp knife, trim edges and cut dough lengthwise into twelve 3/4-inch-wide strips.
  • Lay one of the strips flat on a clean work surface; using a pastry brush, moisten top with beaten egg. Starting at pointed end of a cream-horn mold, wrap strip, with the egg-washed side up, around it in a spiral fashion, with each spiral overlapping slightly. Tuck or press loose end into last spiral; place spiral tucked side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strips. Wrap in plastic wrap; place in refrigerator 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush dough again with beaten egg. Spread granulated sugar in a shallow pan; dip one side of each horn in sugar to coat. Return each, sugar side up, to baking sheet.
  • Bake until horns are golden brown and puffed, about 12 minutes; reduce oven heat to 350 degrees. Remove pan from oven; using a kitchen towel, carefully remove molds from horns. Return horns to baking sheet, and continue baking until insides are lightly golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes more. Remove from oven; immediately transfer horns to a wire rack to cool completely. Horns can be prepared up to this point and stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days before filling and serving.
  • When ready to serve, place cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Sift in confectioners' sugar, and add vanilla; continue beating until stiff peaks form. Transfer whipped cream to a pastry bag; pipe cream into horns. Serve immediately.

CREAM HORNS

This easy Cream Horns recipe is made with puff pastry that's wrapped and baked until golden a flaky and filled with a sweet and fluffy cream filling!

Provided by Rebecca Hubbell

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h12m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 boxes Puff Pastry Dough (thawed1)
1 tablespoon water2
½ cup unsalted butter
½ cup vegetable shortening
3 cups powdered sugar
3 cups marshmallow fluff
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream3 (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, unfold a sheet of pastry dough and gently roll it out with a lightly floured rolling pin.
  • You should still be able to see where the fold creases in the dough ware. Use a pastry wheel (or pizza cutter) to cut each section of the dough into 4 even strips.
  • Grab a strip of dough and begin winding it around the cream horn mold4. If you are using tube shape you can start at either end, if you're using a cone shape you will want to start at the point and wrap from there, slightly overlapping the dough as you wrap. Wet your finger in the water to soften the end of the dough strip and make it sticky enough to stick to the mold and the next strip of dough. 3 strips of dough should fit on each mold. Do not wrap too close to the edges of the molds or it will be difficult to get the baked pastry off.
  • Place the dough wrapped mold on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes until light golden brown, remove from the oven and allow the dough to cool on the mold for 20 minutes.5 Gently slide the pastry off the mold6 and allow them to cool for an additional 10 minutes on a wire rack.
  • While the pastry is cooling, prepare your filling by creaming together the butter and shortening with an electric mixer. Add in the powdered sugar, fluff, and vanilla and mix on low speed until the sugar has combined, then increase the speed to high and whip for 2 minutes. If you choose to add the heavy cream (which I highly recommend) add it in before turning up the speed.
  • Transfer the filling to a pastry frosting bag fitted with a large piping tip and pipe filling into the pastry. If you are using a tube-shaped mold, fill from both ends. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

CREAM HORNS



Cream Horns image

I love making cream horns. They are fun and look so decadent. I ordered my cream horn molds on line. I just googled cream horn molds. They are relatively inexpensive. If you don't have any, you can still make them using ice cream cones wrapped in tinfoil. I looked all over town and couldn't find them anywhere. That was a...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 box puff pastry sheet, thawed, use the other sheet to double recipe or save for another time.
1 large egg, slightly beaten
PASTRY CREAM
2 c whole milk
1/4 c granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1/4 c cornstarch
1/3 c granulated sugar
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 8 cream horn molds by spraying with Pam. While oven is heating, lay one pastry sheet on working surface. Cut into 1/2 inch strips. I use a small artist brush to dip in water and wet the one side of each strip that is going to be overlapping so it will adhere to the dough strips.
  • 2. Start wrapping the pastry at the pointed end of the mold, overlapping as you go. Using a pastry brush, brush each wrapped horn with the egg wash. After you have them all wrapped, put in freezer while you are making the pastry filling. If you are doubling recipe, double everything except the puff pastry sheets.
  • 3. Pastry cream: In a heavy saucepan, stir together milk, and the 1/4 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • 4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the egg. Stir together the remaining sugar, cornstarch, stir them into the egg mixture until smooth. When the milk comes to a boil, drizzle it into the egg mixture in a slow thin stream while continuously whisking, so that you wont curdle the eggs. After the mixture thickens, remove from the heat. Stir in butter and vanilla and mix until well blended. Pour into a heatproof container and spread plastic wrap directly onto the pastry cream. Chill until it is the consistency to fill horns.
  • 5. To fill, put into a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe into the pastry horns and sprinkle tops with confectioners sugar. Or you can pipe on a little melted chocolate...These are soooo yummy

MUMMY CREAM HORNS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the cones
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons milk
Pinch fine salt
16 candy eyes

Steps:

  • For the horns: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Spray 8 metal cream horn cones or sugar cones wrapped in foil with nonstick cooking spray. Cut the puff pastry into 8 even strips. Starting at the point of each cone, wind a pastry strip around the cone, overlapping the layers slightly to cover the cone with a spiral of pastry. Lightly brush the pastry with the egg wash and place the cones seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool the pastry on the cones, then remove.
  • For the filling: Whip the cream and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a pastry bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the icing: Combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, milk and salt in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Transfer to a second pastry bag.
  • To assemble: Pipe the whipped cream into each horn to fill. Dust with confectioners' sugar to coat. Dab some icing on the back of each eye and affix 2 eyes to each horn. Pipe the icing back and forth over each horn to resemble a mummy.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, cream, and eggs.
  • Make sure your oven is preheated before you start baking. This will help ensure that your cream horns bake evenly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Be careful not to overfill the cream horns. If you do, they will burst open while baking.
  • Let the cream horns cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a plastic bag with the corner snipped off to fill the cream horns.
  • Get creative with your fillings! You can use anything from whipped cream to chocolate mousse to fruit.

Conclusion:

Cream horns are a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're perfect for special occasions or everyday snacking. With a little practice, you can easily make cream horns at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
