Best 4 Cream Horns Recipes

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.

CREAM HORNS

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.

HOMEMADE CREAM HORNS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Unfold puff pastry sheet and use a pizza cutter to slice pastry into 6 even strips. Wrap each strip around a conical cream horn mold starting at the pointed end. Place rolled molds on a baking sheet with the end of the dough strip facing down.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
• Remove horns from oven and allow to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes, before carefully removing molds.
• Beat cream cheese and sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add lemon juice and vanilla extract and beat until blended. Fold in whipped topping until filling is smooth and fluffy.
• Fill a pastry bag with cream filling and pipe filling evenly into each horn. Dust horns with confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate 30 minutes before serving.

CREAM HORNS

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
