Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol (granulated)
- 1 teaspoon Water
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to a thickness of approximately 1/8 inch.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the sheets into 1-inch wide strips.
Wrap each strip around a cream horn mold, starting at the tip and slightly overlapping each layer as you wrap.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated erythritol with water to form a paste.
Lightly brush each wrapped mold with the sweetened mixture.
Place the wrapped molds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove the pastry from the molds and let cool completely on a wire rack.
For the filling, beat the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and powdered erythritol in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
In another bowl, soften the cream cheese by microwaving it for about 10 seconds, then mix into the whipped cream until smooth.
Using a piping bag with a star nozzle, fill the horn pastries with the cream mixture.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
