Homemade Cream Horns Recipes

CREAM HORNS

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.

HOLLAND CREAM (WHITE CREAM FILLING)

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, stir the white sugar and water until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is boiling. Remove from heat, and let cool completely. Pour the syrup into a large mixing bowl, and beat in vegetable oil, shortening, and clear vanilla extract with an electric mixer on high speed to blend.
• Beat in the confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, until the filling is thick and fluffy. If it's too thick, beat in a tablespoon of water at a time until it's the correct consistency.

EASY CREAM HORNS

Steps:

• Cut strips of puff pastry and wrap them around a conical mold in an overlapping manner. Use water to stick the pieces into place.
• Place them on a cookie tray and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
• While the horns are cooling, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese until fluffy.
• Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix again.
• Fold the whipped cream into the mixture until smooth and creamy.
• Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Fill a piping bag with this mixture and fill each horn with it. Enjoy!

HOMEMADE CREAM HORNS RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 400 degrees and spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
• Cut your pastry puff into 6 even slices.
• Wrap each slice around the cream horn mold starting at the pointed end and working towards the opening. Place the mold seam-side down on to the baking sheet.
• Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove the pastry horns from oven and allow to cool for around 20 minutes before carefully removing molds.
• While the pastry cools, mix the cream cheese and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add lemon juice, 4 tbsp melted butter, vanilla extract and beat until blended. Fold in whipped topping until filling is smooth and fluffy.
• Begin filling each pastry horn with cream horn filling (using a piping bag, a ziplock with a hole in it, or a butter knife).
• Dust horns with confectioners' sugar.
• Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.

AMISH CREME HORNS

Steps:

• Cut pastry dough into 1/2'' strips. Wrap dough around tin pastry horn molds, beginning at the pointed end, overlapping and stretching slightly as you work your way to the open end.
• Place wrapped horns on a cookie sheet lined with parchment.
• Bake at 400ºF for 15 minutes.
• Remove horn molds from pastry as soon as possible after baking. Let cool.
• Combine pudding mix, milk and Cool Whip.
• Fill a cookie press with mixture and fill horns. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

CREME HORN FILLING

Steps:

• Whip ingredients with a mixer. Fill creme horns or cream puffs.

MOM'S CREAM HORNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Unfold and place thawed one sheet at the time of dough onto a dusted with flour working surface.
• Roll out the dough into a square. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into ¾ inch wide strips.
• Place them onto a greased pan.
• Bake then in preheated oven for 18 minutes or until light golden brown.
• Remove from the oven.
• Remove each horn from the mold hot to prevent from horn sticking to the mold. Use a towel to hold the end of the mold so you don't burn your hands. Let the horns cool completely before filling with cream.
• Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy in texture.
• Add powdered sugar and mix it together increasing mixer speed gradually (unless you want to stand in a dust cloud of powdered sugar) until all combined and smooth to texture with no lumps.
• Scrape down the mixer bowl to remove stuck cream cheese and beat on high until thickens.
• Scrape down the mixer bowl again, to make sure all the cream cheese is removed from the walls of the bowl and beat the cream once more for about 15 seconds.
• Finally, add liquid heavy whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture, start beating on low gradually increasing mixing speed. As the heavy whipping cream gets combined with the cream cheese it will liquefy more. The frosting will thicken during the mixing process. Do not overbeat the frosting! As soon as it starts to hold its shape the frosting is ready.
• Fill a decorating bag and Wilton 32 attachment with cream halfway (it's easier that way to squeeze the cream into horns). Pipe the cream into each end of the horn.
• Place them into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Dust horns with powdered sugar before serving. If you like horns crunchy, omit to refrigerate part.

CREAM HORNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F / 200 C. Place the rack in the center of the oven.
• On a clean, slightly dusted flat surface, unfold 1 thawed puff pastry sheet. Place it on the surface. Dust the rolling pin with some flour.
• Using a pastry cutter, make 22 strips. Roll each strip lengthwise so that it doubles in length.
• Start at the end of a mould, wrap the dough around the mould in a spiral manner.
• Lightly press along with your fingers all the wrapped edges to seal them.
• Repeat the same with the remaining cream horns moulds.
• Place the wrapped moulds on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 min or until golden brown. I baked them in batches of 11.
• Remove the horns from oven. Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet. Remove the moulds and transfer the horns to a large plate.
• In a bowl of your electrical mixer, beat whipping cream with icing sugar until just the cream reaches stiff peaks. Add in cream cheese, vanilla and lemon zest. Beat 20-30 seconds.
• Fill the pastry bag ( with 2D tip) with filling & pipe it into each cream horn.
• Roast 2 tbsp crushed almonds. Allow to completely cool.
• Top each cream horn with some roasted crushed almonds.
• Dust with icing sugar.

PAUL HOLLYWOOD'S CREAM HORNS

Steps:

• For the rough puff, mix the flours and salt together in a bowl. Rub in the diced, chilled butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add just enough water - about 4 or 5 tablespoons - to bind the ingredients together and form a dough.
• Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Roll out the dough into a long rectangle measuring about 25 x 10cm. Turn the pastry, if necessary, so that the short end is closest to you and scatter half of the frozen butter over the bottom two thirds of the dough.
• Fold down the top third of the dough (so that it covers half of the frozen butter) and fold up the bottom third. Turn the dough through 90 degrees.
• Roll the dough into a rectangle again, scatter the remaining butter over the bottom two thirds and fold as before. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
• For the filling, pour the milk into a pan, bring to the boil, then remove from the heat and set aside.
• Whisk the sugar, egg yolks and cornflour together in a large bowl. Pour a little of the hot milk onto the egg mixture, whisking continuously. Whisk in the rest of the hot milk until well combined into a custard, then return the mixture to the pan.
• Cook the custard over a gentle heat, stirring continuously, until it becomes thick and just comes to the boil. Remove from the heat and pass the custard through a sieve into a clean bowl. Stir in the butter until melted and thoroughly combined. Cover the custard with cling film, then chill until set.
• To make the cream horns, heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/Gas 4.
• Roll out the chilled pastry on a lightly floured work surface into a rectangle measuring about 60 x 15cm. Cut the pastry into 6 long strips, each 2cm wide. Starting at the pointed end of a cream horn mould, wrap a pastry strip around the mould in a spiral, with each line overlapping slightly. Place on the baking tray. Repeat to cover all 6 moulds. Brush all the pastry horns with beaten egg and sprinkle with caster sugar.
• Bake the horns in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp and the pastry has risen. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Once cool, carefully remove the moulds.
• To finish the filling, whip the cream to soft peaks using a hand-held electric whisk. Whisk the set custard to loosen it slightly, then add the whipped cream, orange zest and chopped ginger. Mix to a thick, smooth piping consistency. Spoon the mixture into the piping bag fitted with the star nozzle. Set aside.
• To decorate, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Pour the chocolate into a ramekin, then dip the wide end of each cream horn into it. Chill the dipped horns in the freezer for 10 minutes, until set.
• Pipe the filling into the cream horns, then serve immediately.

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.

CREAM HORNS

Steps:

• Take out a sheet of puff pastry to let it thaw enough that you can unfold it without it breaking apart. Once thawed, cut the pastry sheet into nine equal strips. Set aside.
• Spray metal pastry cones with non-stick spray. If you don't have pastry cones, make your own! Rip off 8-12" long sheets of aluminum foil, fold in half, and roll each into a cone shape.
• Wind a strip of pastry around each cone, starting at the pointed end and making sure to overlap layers. After you've reached the end of the pastry, gentle press the end to the top layer of pastry to prevent it from popping off while baking. Place them in the freezer for 20-30 minutes so that they'll hold their shape while baking.
• Preheat oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with a non-stick silicon mat or non-stick spray. Place each pastry, seam side down, 2-3" apart on baking sheet (you may need multiple baking sheets depending on their size - remember, the pastries will expand as they bake and you don't want them to touch!).
• Create an egg wash by whisking together one egg with a teaspoon of water in a small bowl. Brush the top (and only the top!) of each pastry with egg wash to give them a nice golden brown sheen.
• Place 1/4 cup powdered sugar in a flour sifter and crank the sifter to cover the top of each pastry.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on baking sheet with the metal forms still inside.
• While the pastries are cooling, prepare the cream filling. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Add vanilla and remaining 3/4 cup powdered sugar. Whip until it forms stiff peaks. Taste test it and add more powdered sugar if you'd like it a little sweeter.
• Once pastries are completely cooled, fill a piping bag with the cream and squeeze with firm pressure into the pastry cavities. If desired, top with a little powdered sugar or drizzled chocolate. Keep refrigerated and enjoy!
