CREAM HORNS

You'll need twelve cream-horn molds or four-inch wooden cake dowels to make these horns. For a delicious alternative, add almond extract, raspberry puree, or mini chocolate chips to the whipped cream.

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

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Have all of your ingredients and equipment ready before you start. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your crème horns. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
  • Chill the Dough Before Baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Bake the Horns at a High Temperature: Baking the horns at a high temperature will help them to rise quickly and puff up. This will give them a light and airy texture.
  • Don't Overfill the Horns: Overfilling the horns will make them difficult to eat and may cause them to burst open.
  • Let the Horns Cool Completely Before Filling: This will help to prevent the filling from melting and making the horns soggy.

Conclusion:

Crème horns are a delicious and elegant dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for special occasions or for a simple treat. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make crème horns at home. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
