Instructions

Step 1

Roll out the dough and cut into strips (wider strips are better for easier handling).
Create cone shapes out of foil.
Wrap the dough strips around the foil cones and place them on a baking sheet.
Brush the top with egg yolk and bake in the oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the cream:

Melt the sugar with the water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, and then simmer on medium heat for about 5-6 minutes.
Whisk the egg whites with lemon juice and salt until fluffy.
Allow the sugar syrup to cool to 110-120°C (230-250°F) and then slowly pour it into the egg white mixture while whisking at medium speed. Continue whisking for about 5-6 minutes.
Transfer the cream to a pastry bag and fill the pastry tubes with cream.

Equipment

Variations

Hope to make these puff pastry cones gluten-free or vegan? No worries, we've got you covered!

Gluten-Free Version 🌾
Replace traditional puff pastry with a high-quality gluten-free puff pastry dough. Ensure your kitchen is free from cross-contamination to keep the recipe completely gluten-free.

Vegan Version 🌱
Opt for a vegan puff pastry dough. Instead of using egg yolk, brush the top of the dough with a plant-based milk like almond or soy milk to give it that golden finish. For the cream, substitute the egg whites with aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) and follow the same steps.

Now, you can enjoy this delicious treat regardless of your dietary preferences! 😊

Faq

  • What if I don't have a rolling pin?

    A wine bottle or any cylindrical object can work in a pinch. Just ensure it's clean!

  • How can I avoid my dough sticking to the counter?

    Lightly dust your counter and rolling pin with flour to prevent sticking.

  • How do I know when my sugar syrup is ready?

    Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. It should reach 110-120°C (230-250°F).

  • Why is my cream not fluffy?

    Ensure your egg whites are at room temperature and whip them until soft peaks form before adding the sugar syrup.

  • How can I make the cones more uniform in size?

    Measure and cut the dough strips carefully, and try to wrap them around the foil cones as evenly as possible.

  • Can I prepare the cream in advance?

    Yes, but for best results, it’s recommended to fill the pastries soon after making the cream. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
