Description

Mom’s Cream Horn (Trubochki) is a classic, indulgent pastry with flaky, golden dough and a luscious, creamy filling. These horn-shaped pastries are perfect for any occasion, whether for a holiday celebration, family gathering, or as a sweet snack. The combination of crisp puff pastry and smooth, sweet cream is sure to impress!


Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 1 package puff pastry (or homemade puff pastry dough)

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for dusting)

For the cream filling:

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the dough:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    • Roll out the puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.

    • Grease the cream horn molds (or improvise with a wooden dowel or rolling pin). Wrap each dough strip around the mold, starting at the wide end, and overlap slightly as you go to form a spiral shape.

    • Place the wrapped dough on the baking sheet, brush with a beaten egg to create a golden finish, and optionally sprinkle with sugar for extra sweetness.

    • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Cool completely on a wire rack and remove from molds once cool.

  • Make the cream filling:

    • Beat the heavy cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.

    • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and add vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

  • Assemble the cream horns:

    • Once the baked pastry shells have cooled, carefully pipe or spoon the cream filling into each horn.

    • Serve immediately, or refrigerate for an hour to help the filling set.


Notes

Storage: Store leftover cream horns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The puff pastry may soften slightly but will remain delicious.Reheating: Serve fresh, but if reheating, place them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes to restore some crispness.
