Ingredients:
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar (optional, for dusting)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 6 even strips using a pizza cutter. Wrap each strip around a conical cream horn mold, starting at the pointed end. Place the molds on a baking sheet with the end of the dough strip facing down.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes, before carefully removing the molds.
- In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add lemon juice and vanilla extract, then beat until well blended. Fold in the whipped topping until the filling is smooth and fluffy.
- Fill a pastry bag with the cream filling and pipe it evenly into each cooled horn. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your delicious homemade cream horns!
