Cream Horns

This has been in my to-do-list for ages ever since I bought the cream horn tubes years ago. I finally gave myself no excuses anymore. Here they are - come & join me to enjoy this delicious pastry...! The photo above on the right is a bite from the bottom disclosing the blueberry jam.... emmmm....nyummmy...!
You can make your own cream horn moulds - use hard paper (e.g. tissue box) & cut into a quarter circle & then roll into a cone shape. Wrap with aluminium foil before using it with pastry. Since I only bought a set of three, I supplemented with the home-made moulds below:
(Makes 8 Cream Horns) 
INGREDIENTS:
375g Puff Pastry
1 Egg white - lightly beaten
1 tbsp Caster Sugar
Your favourite Jam (I used blueberry jam)

CUSTARD CREAM:
1/2 cup Milk Powder
1/4 cup Caster Sugar
1/4 cup Custard Powder
1 1/4 cup Water
1/3 cup Cream

- Mix all except cream in a pot & cook until thicken.
- Cool then beat in cream with mixer for 1 min until thick & creamy.

METHOD:
1. Roll pastry into 50 x 20 cm.
Cut into eight 50cm long strips.

2. Grease cream horn tubes.
Wrap a tube with the pastry strip starting from the narrow end.
Brush with egg white & sprinkle sugar.
Place onto greased baking tray.

3. Bake at 200C for 20 min, then 190C for 10 min until brown & puffed.
Leave on tray for 5 min & carefully twist to remove moulds from horns.
Leave to completely cool before filling.

4. Fill with jam, then followed by custard cream.

  8. Dear Anonymous,
    This is not difficult to make and suggest that you give a try yourself. Take note the frozen puff pastry is not cheap and hence not attractive for me to make for selling. I would like to help you but I'm a working women with very busy schedule and what I showed on this blog is fighting time at nights & weekends. Thanks for your interest.
