How To Make Cream Horns

I always looked at cream horns in bakeries and wondered how they made it. I always thought they somehow had some way of piping the pastry out that as beyond my skill level. Then I talked to my pastry chef friend who enlightened me.

"You buy these metal cones and wrap puff pastry around them."

Pastry chefs are smart!



Here's a picture of my cream horns just out of the oven wrapped around said metal cones. They are very easy to make and the results were pretty. Here's the decorated end product:



I coated the bottom half with melted chocolate and left it to set. I then filled the cream horn with some strawberry jam and topped it off with whipped cream sweetened with some icing sugar.

It was very yummy. Going to try different variations i.e. chocolate sprinkled with nuts, custard as filling and perhaps savoury fillings as well.
