Vanilla Mousse Cream Rolls | Cream Horns

A showstopper dessert that is EASY to make and delicious; Vanilla Mousse Cream Rolls combines vanilla mousse with crisp puff pastry.

This is the easy and quick recipe you need for all your parties!

Spring is knocking already and it is time to make Spring special recipes! For any party or special occasion; desserts always take center stage. Whenever I am planning a get together I decide on the dessert FIRST!

For the longest time my favorite ingredient to make easy and delicious desserts is Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets. With endless possibilities to use them with all kinds of ingredients, everyone enjoys these.

This Spring I wanted to start off with this dessert that doubles up as a snack! Cream Rolls or Cream Horns are super popular in many bakeries. These rolls were always a treat growing up! I would always wonder how these rolls have such a crispy outer layer with a melt in the mouth cream inside.

Once I discovered Puff Pastry Sheets I had the answer! Now I know how to get the layered rolls right each time; in under 30 minutes and with just a few ingredients. I started making these at home and now it is a home-made treat for every party. All it needs is some patience to wrap the cone tight so that the filling does not leak.

On my last grocery trip I brought home two packets of Puff Pastry Sheets (as always) and I used one to make a puffed pizza and the second box got converted to this yummy dessert! I filled mine with Vanilla Mousse, that melt in the mouth filling that adults and kids LOVE!

Now that Easter and many more Spring parties are lined up, each one of you need to try this delight for your family. I bet they would have a great time and ask for MORE! I have never been satisfied with ONE roll myself.

I have seen that one sheet of Puff Pastry is enough to make over a dozen of these horns. If you do not have the metal cone molds to make these, fret no more. All you need to do is roll a piece of foil into a triangle and use that. If you have some sugar cones, wrap the foil on them and make perfect cones! Or if you want a quick recipe, just cut rounds of the Puff Pastry and lay them in a muffin tray. They make really cute 'nests'.

Coming to the recipe, this one is pretty simple. Needing just a few ingredients, quick to make and so easy to customize. The method involves making the rolls, decorating them and filling them with your favorite flavor. I filled these with a vanilla mousse this time, but everything from a Strawberry Mousse, Chocolate Mousse, Lemon Curd to just whipped cream is great with the crispy Puff Pastry Sheets.

So on your next grocery shopping trip, make sure you grab a box of Puff Pastry Sheets, whipping cream and your favorite fruit or flavor. Whip up these rolls and enjoy them your loved ones!
