Ingredients

  • 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoon pistachio butter/cream
  • ¼ cup crushed pistachios
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper.
  • Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into strips about 1 inch wide.
  • Wrap each strip of puff pastry around the molds or a cone-shaped object, starting from the tip and wrapping towards the wider end. Brush it with egg wash.
  • Bake the pastry horns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
  • Once the pastry horns are cool, carefully remove them from the molds.
  • In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and pistachio butter until stiff peaks form.
  • Fill each horn with the whipped cream filling using a piping bag or spoon.
  • Dip the edges in crushed pistachios.

Notes

  • If you don’t have cream-horn molds, simply fold heavy-duty foil into a sturdy strip, shape it into a cone, grease it, and wrap your pastry around it. Bake as usual and the foil mold will release easily once cooled.
  • Make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed but still cold so it doesn’t tear.
  • Wrap the pastry strips tightly around the mold to keep the horns from opening in the oven.
  • Let the baked horns cool completely before adding the cream so it doesn’t melt.
