Best 6 Pastry Cornucopia Recipes

CORNUCOPIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 17x14 inch (or lager) cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
• Tear off a 30x18 inch sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Fold it in half to 18x15 inch. Roll diagonally to form a hollow cone, about 18 inches long with a diameter of 5 inches at the widest end (Cornucopia opening). Fasten end with clear tape. Stuff cone with crumpled regular foil until form is rigid. Bend tail of cone up then down at end. Spray outside of cone with non-stick cooking spray. Place on cookie sheet.
• Beat the egg with the water to make a glaze. Open and unroll the first can of breadstick dough on work surface. Separate breadsticks. Begin by wrapping one breadstick around tip of cone. Brush end of next breadstick with Glaze and press to attach to end of first breadstick. Continue spiral-wrapping cone, slightly overlapping dough until there are 3 breadsticks left.
• Pinch one end of the 3 breadsticks together, then braid. Brush bread around opening of cornucopia with glaze. Gently press on braid. Brush entire cornucopia with glaze.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes or until bread is a rich brown. (If parts start to darken too much, cover them with pieces of foil.)
• Remove from oven and let cool completely on cookie sheet on a wire rack. Carefully remove foil when cool. (If freezing, leave foil in bread for support. Remove when thawed.)

BAKED CORNUCOPIA

Steps:

DANISH KRINGLE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cut 1 cup butter into flour until crumbly, leaving pea-sized chunks. Stir in sour cream, and mix well; dough will be very sticky. Form dough into a ball. Cover tightly, and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. Prepare the filling by combining 1 cup butter, brown sugar, and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
• Divide dough into three equal parts; return two parts to the refrigerator to keep cold. Quickly form 1/3 of the dough into a rectangle, and flour lightly. On a heavily floured surface, roll out to approximately 12x17 inches. Position lengthwise on the work surface. Along the long edges of the dough rectangle, use a sharp knife to cut 4 inch long angled lines about 1/2 inch apart. Spoon 1/3 of the filling along the length of the rectangle's uncut center. Alternating from one side of the dough to the other, fold each 1/2 inch wide strip towards the center, crisscrossing the filling in a braid-like fashion. Lightly press together the ends of the strips to seal. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the remaining walnuts. Repeat with remaining ingredients to form 3 braided danishes. Arrange danishes on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Cool for approximately 30 minutes. While the danishes are cooling, prepare the icing: mix confectioners sugar and water until smooth. Drizzle in fine streams over warm danishes.

CREAM HORNS

Steps:

• Grease 8 cream horn metal cones. Cut the puff pastry into 1/2-inch wide strips. Starting at the point of the cone, wind the pastry around the cone, overlapping the layers slightly to cover the cone with a spiral of pastry. Freeze in an airtight container.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• When ready to bake, whisk the egg with the water and lightly brush the pastry with the egg wash. Shake powdered sugar all over the surfaces and place them, seam side down on a parchment paper lined sheet pan. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on the cones. Then remove and fill the cornucopias.
• Whip the cream with the 1 tablespoon sugar until stiff, then chill it. Cut up the fruit. If desired, roll the blueberries in gold leaf to guild them. Pipe whipped cream into the pastry to fill in, then place it on a dessert plate. Garnish the cornucopia with cascading cut up fruit, then dust with powdered sugar.
• Notes about the recipe: You can also fill these with custard and fruit.

KIM'S PUFF PASTRY CORNUCOPIA

Steps:

• Gather a long sheet of tin foil and scrunch it up into the shape of a cornucopia (solid form), approximately 12-inches long, and as thick as you desire. Make it big, so you can add lots of desserts or other foods.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Next, roll out puff pastry and cut into 1 inch strips. Begin constructing the cornucopia by wrapping each strip of pastry around and around the tin foil. After approximately 20 strips, the entire foil inner will be covered. Cut out decorative leaves with the remainder of dough and decorate the top of the cornocopia.
• When it's finished brush with egg wash. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
• Once it has cooled, pull the inner tin foil out from the inside. You can fill it with brownies, squares, and cookies.
