Cream Horns/Cream filled Pastry Cones

Today's recipe is a simple dessert and can be made in no time if the pastry cones are baked already.All you need is mix in the whipped cream along with some powdered sugar and fill in the cone.To make it more attractive the pastry cone can be drizzled with some melted chocolate or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
I remember eating this cream filled cones in local bakeries back in India.I am not sure whether its made with puff pastry or bread dough,still remember the taste.After checking so many videos,finally ended up in making it with homemade puff pastry.I got the cone shaped molds from Amazon if you don't have you can use the aluminium foil.Make a thick and sturdy mold by rolling the aluminum foil and use it.
When I made the cone/horn for the first time myself and kids got tempted so had it as such without any filling.Then made it for the second time and filled with cream.Off to the recipe..........................

• Serve it within an hour.

• The baked horns can be stored in an air tight container for 2 days,keep it in the oven for couple of minutes before filling or drizzling with chocolate.
• Do not bake it more than 22 minutes and after drizzling the melted chocolate let it dry completely before filling the cream.
• While wrapping in the each layer should overlap,otherwise while puffing up it may create gaps.
• After removing the baked horns from the oven let it sit for 2-3 minutes,then remove the mold and cool it completely.
