Ingredients
  

Pastry Ingredients
  • 1 package Puff Pastry Sheets Use ready-made for convenience or make your own
Filling Ingredients
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese Ensure it's softened
  • 4 cups Cold Heavy Cream Essential for fluffy texture
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Can use regular granulated sugar
  • 0.5 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt Balances sweetness
  • 16 oz Cool Whip Optional, thaw in the fridge for 24 hours

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut them into long strips about 1 inch wide.
  3. Carefully wrap each strip around your cream horn molds, spiraling from one end to the other. Overlap the pastry slightly for the best flaky results.
Baking
  1. Place the wrapped molds on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffy.
  2. Once baked, let them cool on a wire rack.
Making the Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
  3. Fold in the cold heavy cream gently until fluffy and well-combined. If using, mix in the Cool Whip.
Filling the Horns
  1. Once the pastry is cool, carefully remove them from the molds.
  2. Fill each horn generously with your cream filling.
  3. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

Serve fresh for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
