Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out both puff pastry sheets to slightly thinner than their original thickness.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each puff pastry sheet into long, 1-inch-wide strips.
Wrap each strip around a wooden dowel, cream horn mold, or washed and sanitized cylindrical clothes pin, overlapping slightly as you go to create a spiral effect.
Roll the dough-wrapped molds in granulated sugar to coat the outside of the pastry evenly.
Place the molds onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
While the pastries bake, prepare the filling by whipping together the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a chilled bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth, then gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
Once baked, allow the pastry shells to cool slightly before carefully sliding them off the molds.
Using a pastry bag or small spoon, pipe the filling into each pastry shell, starting from one end and filling it completely.
Repeat until all pastry shells are filled, then dust lightly with powdered sugar for decoration.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Enjoy your Clothes Pin Cookies Mini Cream Horns!
