Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package store-bought puff pastry sheets
- 8 ounces low-fat cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 1 whole egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your working surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth them out.
Cut the puff pastry into long strips, about 1-inch wide.
Wrap each strip around a metal cream horn mold, starting at the tip and spiraling to make sure the edges overlap slightly.
In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash lightly over the wrapped puff pastry and sprinkle with sugar for a sweet, crispy crust.
Place the wrapped molds seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cream horns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
While they are baking, prepare the cream filling by combining the low-fat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and skim milk in a medium-sized bowl.
Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Transfer the filling to a piping bag.
Once the pastry horns are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before removing them from the molds.
Pipe the cream cheese filling carefully into each horn.
Serve immediately or refrigerate to enjoy later.
