Cream Filled Puff Pastry Cones


Here's a sweet and pretty idea to serve on Mother's Day.
The china I've used today were my mom's. Royal Albert, Lavender Rose.

For the pastry cones:
Molds can be purchased at cake decorating stores or kitchen shops. They are very inexpensive. You can also make your own which will end up being quite a bit larger. Take boxed waffle ice cream cones and wrap them in foil. Then wrap in parchment and use as directed below. Discard cones after use.

  • 1 397 gram box puff pastry -this is found in the frozen food section of the grocery store (I use Tender flake brand)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp water
  • raw sugar, optional
  1. Thaw pastry as directed on package. There are 2 blocks of pastry in a box. Take one out at a time.
  2. Lightly flour a pastry mat. Place block of pastry onto map and gently roll block out into a 10x12 sheet. 
  3. Whisk together egg and water. 
  4. Lightly brush pastry with egg wash. (you will not nearly use it all)
  5. Cut pastry into long strips 1/2" wide. 
  6. Wrap parchment paper around cone molds and then take one strip of pastry at a time and wrap around molds overlapping as you work from bottom point to the top. The pastry will stick together well.
  7. Lightly brush a little more egg wash over the pastry wrapped around the cone and then sprinkle with sugar.
  8. Place pastry wrapped molds on parchment lined baking sheet. 
  9. Bake pastry cones in 375ยบ oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
  10. Pastry will be very flaky and fragile. Carefully pull baked pastry off cones and remove parchment. Cool on a rack. 
  11. Once cooled store in airtight container until ready to fill. Best used the same day.
For the filling:
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla OR almond extract
  • 1 package Whip It, (this is a whipping cream stabilizer, or you can use 1 tbsp instant vanilla pudding powder)
  • fresh raspberries
  • fresh mint leaves
  1. Whip cream until it just begins to thicken.
  2. Add sugar, flavouring and Whip It. Continue to whip cream until cream is thick.
  3. Fill a piping bag fitted with a tip with whipped cream.
  4. Just before serving fill cones with cream, adding a few fresh raspberries as you fill the cones. 
  5. Make a nice swirl at the top of the cone with the cream and garnish with a fresh raspberry and mint sprig.
NOTE: The cones can be made earlier in the day and once cooled keep in an airtight container until ready to fill. The pastry is so delicate, so it's best if you can have your cream ready to go in the pastry bag in the fridge and fill as near to the time they will be served as possible insuring that your cone is crisp and flaky and do not become soft.

  3. You say cut into long strips - are you cutting along the 12" side of the pastry block or the 10" side?

    1. It really does not matter.....you may need to add a little piece or cut away a little, depending how much overlapping you do. I just overlap a little as I wind up from the bottom. Hope that helps you.

  5. You have a gorgeous cookbook online and "in real life", and I always get your online site. But I seem to have problems getting responses to my questions. I'll try again! First, how many pastries does this recipe make? Second, there are some of us (many, I would guess) who don't know a gram from a ton. Would it throw the printer to insert ounces or inches or whatever for our benefit? Thanks!

    1. Hi Audrey, sorry you are not getting responses to your questions. We do try our best to respond, but I know there are times it is over looked.
      This recipe yields approximately 16 scones if using both squares of frozen dough that come per box.
      At this point we suggest our readers just go to their own conversion charts.
      Enjoy this Mother's Day weekend.
