Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease cream horn molds or form cones using aluminum foil.
Roll out the gluten-free puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
Cut the pastry into long strips approximately 1 inch wide.
Wrap each strip around the cream horn mold or foil cone, starting from the pointed end.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Brush each pastry-wrapped mold with the egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Place the molds on a baking sheet, seam side down, and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before carefully removing the pastry from the molds.
While the horns cool, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip.
Once the horns are completely cooled, pipe the whipped cream into each horn.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Enjoy your delightful gluten-free cream horns!
