CREME HORN FILLING



Creme Horn Filling image

I love those creme horns from the bakery. They're so light and flakey...and so rich! My favorite thing about them, though is the filling. When I worked at our local grocery store, the lady in the bakery gave me the recipe. It's been pared down quite a bit, but she said this was basically it, only they make it in pretty big batches.
