Mom’s Cream Horn (Trubochki) Recipe

These puff pastry cream horns are easy and impressive for any special occasion! This is my Mother's cream horns recipe (aka trubochki).

Merry Christmas!! Europeans celebrate Christmas January 7th; oh my the party continues! You don’t have to wait for a party to make these puff pastry cream horns. They are easy and super impressive. Mom has a large stash of these molds and we made trubochki together (i.e. she did most of the work while I took pictures).

I purchased 12 of my own Cream Horn Molds from Amazon (I picked the Fox Run brand, but they are all very similar). They don’t take long to bake so 12 would be enough but it’s more efficient with more. 30 would be ideal; make them in 2 batches and be done with ’em.

Ingredients for the Cream Horn (Trubochki):

1 package (2 sheets) Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry, thawed
Powdered Sugar
8 oz tub of cool whip
4 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature
3 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice

Cream Horns

How to Make Cream Horns (trubochki):

Preheat the Oven to 400°F
1. Unfold one thawed puff pastry sheet. Keep the second sheet refrigerated. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 30 even strips.

Cream Horns-2

2. Roll each strip out until it is about 2.5 times in length.

Cream Horns-6

3. Wrap the dough around the mold, pushing the dough down to seal it as you go.

Cream Horns-7

4. Place the rolled mold on a baking sheet, with the end side down so it doesn’t unwrap or puff up. Bake at 400° F for 12 min until golden brown.

5. Remove Trubochki from the molds and start the second batch.

Cream Horns-3

6. Once your trubochki (cream horns) are cooled to room temperature, you can pipe in the cream.

Puff pastry cream horns can be made even 3 days ahead; covered and stored in a cool, dry place.

Making the Filling and finishing touches:

1. Beat together 4oz of cream cheese and 3 Tbsp of sugar until well blended (1 minute on medium speed).

Cream Horns-10

2. Mix in 2 Tbsp of lemon juice until well blended. Then fold in 8oz of cool whip until smooth and fluffy.

Cream Horns-11

3. Place filling in a ziploc bag (or pastry bag) and pipe it into each cream horn, making sure to fill the cone. Hold the bag with an oven mitt so the cream won’t warm up in your hand.

4. Generously dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!

        Natashas Does your Moms cream horn recipe require refrigeration after filling?

        I am going to actually make a bunch of miniature ice cream cones and fill them with the cream.

        To keep them from getting soggy, I plan to paint chocolate on the inside of the cone for stability.

        I would assume you could do the same thing to pastry horns.

        What do you think?

    Natasha,

    This recipe looks simple, easy and incredibly delicious! I plan to make these next week, but had a concern about it getting too hard (in the refrigerator), or even soggy from being filled a hours in advance. If I fill them and leave them in the fridge for 8-10 hours, will they be okay to eat right after or too hard from refrigeration? Based on your experience. if left out for a couple hours, do you think they will start melting?

    I see some comments about condensed milk, but I don’t see it in the recipe. Can you please clarify if that is required?

    Apologies if you’ve already answered these questions in the previous comments.

It’s still going to taste good, but I like the cones to be flaky rather than too soft. You can leave the cones at room temperature in a plastic bag and refrigerate the frosting until ready to fill and serve. There is no condensed milk in this recipe and it is not required. A couple readers were asking if they could use it to sweeten the cream.

    Hi Natasha, any reason why my puff pastry gets stuck to the molds and I can’t remove the trubochki and they all break? It happens every single time I make them (at least 6 times). I try to remove the trubochki and they all break. They dough is completely stuck to the molds and the trubochki are dark golden brown. I’m so frustrated cause I wasted so so many 🙁

      You may be over-baking them if they are dark golden brown. It may just be the type of trubochki you have? I haven’t had that problem with the ones I have from Amazon or my mom’s from, well, I’m not sure where they are from! Anyway, you might try spraying them lightly with cooking spray before baking. Also, are you taking them off as soon as they come out of the oven? I think they slide off easier if you don’t wait. I sure hope that helps! Oh and another thing, what brand of puff pastry are you using? Are you thawing according to package instructions and not leaving them on the counter for too long? If they get too warm or too soft, they might be more prone to stick, that is why I leave the second sheet of puff pastry refrigerated while I work on the first one.

      Hi Giseli. It helps if you take them off the molds as soon as possible after they come out of the oven (being careful of course since they are hot!) I haven’t tried flour but it might help. It sounds like a little bit of a pain to put flour on all of them, but it may help. What brand of molds are you using? Sometimes it might be because the dough was wrapped too tight on the mold. I sure hope that helps! 🙂

      Yes you could, just refrigerate the frosting and pipe it in the day you’re serving them. Frosting always pipes best when it’s fresh. If it gets a little firm, let it sit at room temp for a little bit to soften until it’s pipe-able 🙂

    I want to make this for my little man’s 1st birthday party! Since I will be making so many things, I’ve read a comment where you responded that you can refigeeate then and eat them next day. My question is how many days can they be refrigerated before losing their yummy-ness? And do we have to store them in a specific way in the refrigerater (like in a freezer bag, with plastic wrap, in a Tupperware ware box)?

      We had them on a platter and covered them in plastic wrap. It’s best to pipe in the frosting the same day, but you can do it a day ahead and just dust with powdered sugar just before serving. Happy birthday to your son! 🙂

    Have you ever heard of Norwegian Waffle Cookies/Krumkake? These seem rather alike, albeit a bit easier to make. I’m still working getting on my waffles to come out right, they’re really finicky. The Krumkake is less of a pastry though, but more of hard cookie, like a ice cream cone, but thinner and less sweet. It’s really pretty similar though, sorry about the ramble.

    I was looking at a deviled egg recipe and happened on a picture of these. They were my favorite as a child but its been more than 30 years since I had one. There was a bakery here in town when I was a little girl that made these and they were huge. I would get one for good grades after report cards in elementary school. Can’t wait to try them. Am going to pick up the molds at a restaurant supply store. I think that ricotta cheese or marscapone could be substituted for the whipped crime making them have some protein and still yummy. You could use equal or Splenda to sweeten instead of sugar too.

For the filling, I used mascarpone instead of cream cheese, Lemon Curd instead of Lemon Juice, and Whipped heavy cream instead of cool whip. I also topped each one with either a raspberry or a blackberry. They are so cute and very yummy! Thanks.

      I haven’t had issues with mine sticking to the particular molds that I have from Amazon. If you are concerned, you can spray them with a cooking spray or butter them lightly. It depends on how big you are making them; you could have them go all the way up the molds. You also want to make sure you have enough to hold on to to remove them easily from the molds.

        Thank you Natasha! The whipped cream did work! However, I had a fairly difficult time taking trubocki off the molds. Some came off easy some got struck so badly that I could not talk them off without completely destroying them. I did notice that some strips of dough were stickier than others. I think the sticker ones got stuck. Did I thaw the pastry for too long? Would appreciate your opinion on what might have gone wrong. Thank you very much for this recipe!

    No not paper thin. You think thawing methods plays a role? Cause I was late on putting it in the fridge overnight and had to thaw it on the counter for 4 min or so, per directions on the box. And I’m thinking maybe the puff pastry sat on the counter and got too warm… I think it’s key to get it in the oven ASAP while the puff pastry is still cold. I dunno. Cause I had the same problem with the puff pastry sticking like crazy at home. But then I was getting them on the molds and into the oven fairly quickly and 95% started coming out right. Although some Stull stuck. I have absolutely no idea. It boggled my mind.

        hi natasha. zavarnoi krem is a russian krem that’s similar to custard (for example when you make american eclairs, the custard for them is a version of our zavornoi krem). It’s called zavarnoi because you cook the krem on the stove (it has egg yolks in it). Russian’s often use it in layered cakes, such as napoleon.

    Natasha thank you so much for this amazing recipe. I started making these trybochki all the time at home. I always double the recipe and they are gone in just one day. My dad eats them nonstop. My brothers also really like them. We really like that the cream isn’t too sweet, just perfect. I’m planning to do them Christmas night and give it out as a treat to our youth when they come Christmas caroling.
    Merry Christmas to you and your family

      I haven’t used condensed milk in it but its not a bad idea to make the cream sweeter. I just can’t tell you the amount to add, you don’t want it to be runny. Hope this helps.

    Made those yammies yesterday, they were absolutely amazing!! Thanx Natasha for all your recipes!! I bought the “trubochki molds” on amazon, as u suggested, got 30 of them looooong time ago and finally for to use ’em :)) I did make some changes though to the recipe: added some Nutella as one of ur reviewers suggested (sinse my husband LOOOVES anything chocolaty, LOL :)) They turned out great!! 🙂 Also, a small tip: it makes it MUCH faster to roll the dough first, AND THEN cut it into equal strips. Cuz I tried it ur way and took me so much longer, but maybe just because I’m not used to doing it that way, idk…

    Do you put anything on the horns before putting on the pastry. They stick to the metal and can’t come off easily, and the batch got ruined.

      September 14, 2012

      That’s a real bummer. 🙁 I’ve never had a problem with sticking since the dough has plenty of it’s own built-in grease. Did you use the same brand of puff pastry? You could always spray them with a cooking spray like PAM if they are sticking. It would take way too long to try and grease them all by hand. Also, try to remove them pretty soon after they come out of the oven. They may slide off easier if they are still very warm/hot. Hope that helps.

        Usually if trubochki sticks it means that the dough was put tight on the molds. Try not to put to tight and it should come off easily. Good luck.

    Thanks for this wonderful recipe. I’ve never heard of cream horns before, but thought these would be a lovely addition to my dessert party. They were fun to make (although rolling 120 at one time was a little much) and so easy. The hint of lemon was absolutely perfect. Everyone at the party raved about them. Not sure if it works out when you do a single batch, for a double batch I ended up with a whole piping bag of extra filling. I was heart broken to toss out such deliciousness, but with 120 completed desserts to eat I figured we’d have our fill. Thanks again. I will definitely make these again… maybe with Nutella 🙂

      These would be ok at room temp for 2 hours, safe max time would be 4-6 since it has dairy in it. I wouldn’t leave them in the heat though. Maybe you could keep some in a cooler and replenish as they are sold?

    Hi Natasha,
    Where I come from doesn’t have cool whip. Do you have any suggestion what would be the best to substitute for cool whip? Folding in whipped cream to the filling will not result in the same consistency as it is with cool whip since whipped cream is not as stable as cool whip. It doesn’t have to be the same flavor, I just need the substitute to have similar consistency for the filling. Thanks.

    I had a question for you. I planned to make these for a party on saturday, how early can I bake the trubochki? Also, how far ahead of time can i fill them with the cream? is this a soft cream that can possibly make the trubochki soggy after time? I just dont want to fill them too early and have them become soggy or anything.. Thank You!

      I’ve made them 3 days before my event, covered and kept them in a cool place and filled them just before the event. Filling them is easy and really quick, then just dust them (heavily) with the powdered goodness. The cream is thick and not runny at all. I would put cream in the day or the morning of your event.
