Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon cold water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly flour your work surface, then roll out the puff pastry sheets into rectangles about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 3

Cut each pastry sheet into 1-inch wide strips.

Step 4

Melt the unsalted butter in a small dish and brush lightly onto the strips of puff pastry.

Step 5

Starting at one end of a cream horn mold, wrap a strip of puff pastry around it, overlapping slightly as you go to create a spiral.

Step 6

Brush the wrapped molds with the beaten egg mixed with cold water, then roll them in granulated sugar to coat.

Step 7

Place wrapped molds on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the horns cool on the molds for a few minutes before gently sliding them off to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

While the pastry is cooling, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.

Step 10

Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.

Step 11

Once the pastry horns are completely cool, fill them with the whipped cream.

Step 12

Dust with additional powdered sugar if desired, and serve immediately.
