Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Mom’s Cream Horns
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and roll out puff pastry sheets on a floured surface. Cut into ¾ inch wide strips.
  2. Wrap each strip around a horn mold, overlapping edges slightly to create a cone shape.
  3. Bake molds on a lined baking sheet for approximately 18 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Beat softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth, gradually mixing in powdered sugar, vanilla, and sea salt.
  6. Add cold heavy cream to the mixture and beat until fluffy; alternatively, fold in Cool Whip for a lighter filling.
  7. Once cooled, fill a piping bag with cream and pipe into each horn, starting from the base.
  8. Chill the filled horns in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before serving, dusting with powdered sugar before serving.
