Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Cream Horns is an easy dessert or snack recipe made using Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry. This pastry is delicious and decadent with the outside coated with cinnamon sugar and inside layered with chocolate ganache and then filled with chocolate whipped cream. YUM!!!!!
If you are a chocolate and cream horn lover then this recipe is for you. My husband loves cream horns and we would often buy the store bought ones as I always thought they would be complicated to make. But not any more thanks Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets. These Puff Pastry Sheets make the cream horn recipes so easy and delicious always!
The traditional and popular cream horns recipe usually have Puff Pastry Sheets filled with whipped cream. But my recipe is a variation of this. Its much more delicious and decadent with the addition of cinnamon sugar, chocolate ganache and chocolate whipped cream. These beauties are perfect for any dessert table! My daughter couldn't wait for me to finish clicking the pictures and with her first bite she was like “Mom this is delicious”. Well that sums it all, doesn’t it?
To get the horn or cone shape, I’ve used sugar ice-cream cones and wrapped them with aluminium foil before wrapping the pastry over it. But you can also buy the conical moulds available online. These cones are freezer friendly too!
The recipe couldn’t be simpler, thaw your Puff Pastry and in the meanwhile wrap the sugar cones in aluminium foil. Wrap Puff Pastry Sheet strips over each cone. brush with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 400F for 20 mins and then allow to cool completely. Then coat them with chocolate ganache and dip them too and allow to dry/set. Last but not the least fill them with Chocolate whipped cream. Wait no more and enjoy this deliciousness!!
Recipe Card
Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Cream Horns
Ingredients
To make horns/cones:
- 12 sugar ice-cream cones
- Aluminium foil as much needed to cover the cones
- 2 sheets of frozen Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry thawed
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon milk
For Chocolate Cream:
- 1 and half cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup powdered sugar
For Chocolate Ganache:
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
To make horns/cones:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and keep ready.
- In a bowl add the sugar and cinnamon powder. Mix well. Keep aside.
- Wrap each ice-cream cone tightly with aluminium foil sealing any lose ends and covering the cone completely. Keep aside.
- Flour the surface and place the thawed Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry on it and roll it into 10X15 inches and divide into 1 inch equal strips
- Now take the wrapped cones and the strips, starting with the pointy end wrap along the cone overlapping at each twist by about ⅓rd.
- Snip off any extra if any. Don't wrap till the very end as the Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry expands on baking and it may get a little difficult to remove the sugar cones
- Brush the cones with milk (you can use egg wash too)
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly all over the cones.
- Place on the pre-lined tray with the pointy end facing up.
- Bake for 20-25 mins or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and gently pull the wrapped ice-cream cones out. Let the horns cool completely.
For Chocolate Ganache:
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and microwave for 45 seconds.
- Add the chocolate chips to this and let them sit for 5 mins.
- Then mix until well combined. Chocolate Ganache is ready! Keep aside
For Chocolate Cream:
- Place the mixing bowl along with beater in the freezer for 15mins.
- Remove the bowl and beater and add the cream, powdered sugar and cocoa powder to the chilled bowl and beat for 5min or until stiff peaks form.
- Transfer to a piping bag with Wilton 2D tip (or any tip/nozzle of your choice).
For Assembling The Cream Horns:
- Once the cinnamon sugar coated cones have cooled down, using a spoon drizzle the inside with chocolate ganache, rotate to spread it evenly and shake off any excess.
- Dip the open end of the horn in chocolate ganache too and keep them vertical in a stand or cup for drying.
- Refrigerate for 30-40 mins or until the chocolate ganache is set.
- Now fill the inside with the chocolate whipped cream until its full.
- Repeat for remaining horns.
That's it, our decadent Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Cream Horns made using Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry sheets are ready! Enjoy!!
Happy Baking!

Hi, these look so delicious. I need to make a big batch of these, about 50 of them. How long in advance can I make them? can I make them a day in advance & refrigerate them? & if they are placed in the fridge, will the pastry soften?
So sorry for all the questions
Hi, thank you! these are truly decadent!! yes, you can make them a day in advance but I would suggest you keep the horns dipped in chocolate ready and filling separate. Fill them on the day you want to serve. Please let me know how it went 🙂
Hye.. beautiful cream horn ! ????
Btw, for chocolate cream why do we need to put the mixing bowl in the freezer?
Have a passion for pastries.
Want to learn all I canthanks
Wow, I am drooling here.. they look absolutely inviting! Such an easy recipe!
Thank you! Its truly delicious and so fun to create.
Really cute idea. I bet these could even be good with a savory filling.
Is the Peppridge Farm Puff Pastry natural ingredients? I've never used it. I make my own. It's a lot of work. But I haven't found any store brands without preservatives, hydrogenated oils and artificial color.
