Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 large egg yolk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Gently roll out the puff pastry sheets to remove any creases. Cut the sheets into 1-inch wide strips.

Step 3

Wrap the pastry strips around metal cream horn molds, overlapping slightly as you go. Place them seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Melt the unsalted butter and lightly brush it over the pastry wraps.

Step 5

Bake the pastry horns in the preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool before removing the molds.

Step 6

While the pastry cools, prepare the cream filling. In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and pure vanilla extract.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the cornstarch mixture and the egg yolk, stirring constantly to prevent any clumps.

Step 8

Heat until the mixture begins to thicken, then remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 9

Once the cornstarch mixture is cooled, fold it gently into the whipped cream mixture until well combined.

Step 10

Using a piping bag with a star tip, fill each pastry horn with the cream mixture.

Step 11

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving for a firmer filling. Enjoy your low sodium cream horns!
