How to Make Croatian Pastry Cones with Cream by Uppermoda

As I mentioned, you only need a few ingredients, however you do need a few tools. If you can borrow these from a friend (like I did) or if you have these readily available than this is the recipe for you!

Ingredients to make Croatian Cones:

1 x Pack (5 sheets) of Shortcut Pastry
1 x 600ml Thickened Cream
1 x Packet of vanilla flavoured instant pudding
2 tablespoons of Milk
Icing Sugar / Powdered Sugar for dusting

Tools to make Croatian Cones:

Cream Horn / Cone Shapers to wrap your pastry
Piping Bag
Mixer
Baking Sheets

Makes approximately 50 cones

Method to make Croatian Cones:

Step 1: Defrost the 5 sheets of shortcut pastry

Step 2: Pre-heat your oven to 180C (fan forced) or 200C

Step 3: Cut your shortcut pastry into 10 vertical strips. I used a sharp knife to do this, however you can use a pizza cutter or any type of tool to cut the pastry evenly.

Step 4: Wrap each vertical strip of shortcut pastry onto the cone shaper. Start with wrapping the tip first and work your way to the thicker end of the cone shaper.

Tip: You do not need to press the pastry onto the cone, just use light pressure. Place the pastry wrapped cone onto a baking sheet with the end of the pastry facing down. If this part faces up, it will curl while baking.

Step 5: Repeat the process for all 50 vertical strips and place them in the oven for 12 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Step 6: Let the cones cool and slide the pastry off of the metal cones.

Tip: Use tongs to hold onto the top part of the cone while sliding the pastry off as the shaper will be hot. Allow to cool before adding the filling.

Step 7: While the cones are cooling, use a mixer and mix together the thickened cream, milk and instant pudding until light and fluffy.

Step 8: Put the cream into a piping bag.

Step 9: Once the cones are cooled and your cream is in the piping bag, you can start filling your cones!

Tip: Stand up your cones in shot glasses so that you can have 2 hands on the piping bag while filing each of the cones.

Step 10: Sprinkle icing sugar on top before serving.

Voila! It’s easy as that and they will look gorgeous!

Here are a few photos of the process.

Hi Susan, Thanks for leaving a comment! No, actually shortcut pastry and puff pastry are a little different. The Shortcut pastry works well in tarts and the like and has a different texture than puff pastry. It tends to last a bit longer without getting soggy. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
