Crispy Cream Horns filled with Condensed Milk based Custard and dipped in Chocolate. They’re a combination of crunchy, creamy, sweet and of course delicious!

Boston Cream Pie Cream Horns (1)

Time was before New Years…My cousin posted picture of a Napoleon cake that wouldn’t let me go about my things. I kept thinking and thinking about it… There was only a couple sheets of puff pastry dough in the fridge, which wasn’t enough for a cake, so I decided to make cream horns. I mean why not, Napoleon is puff pastry & custard, and so are these…

Even though the combination of flavors is that of the Napoleon, the addition of chocolate does make it something else. It’s definitely very similar to the Boston Cream Pie Cake. The addition of the chocolate came once they were filled, boxed up and ready to wait in the fridge until I was ready to go to the party.

Then all of a sudden I decided to dip them in chocolate, to make them a little more festive. Once I dipped them in chocolate though, you couldn’t see what the Cram Horns were filled with. So I got my star tip out and piped a little star on top. If you were planning to make Boston Cream Pie Horns from the beginning, you should probably dip the unfilled shells first and then fill them with custard.

I actually made these for our family’s New Year’s Party and they were a total hit! I made both the original version of my cream horns and these. Even though both were delicious, Boston Cream Pie Horns were unanimously voted the winner!

Instructions

Make the Cream Horn Shells

  1. Turn oven to 425°F. Line an 18 x 12 baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

  2. Use a pizza cutter to cut 2 thawed pastry sheets into 16 strips (8 strips from each sheet ).

  3. Wrap each strip around the cream horn mold, overlapping a little bit with each round.

  4. Place the mold, end of the strip side down.

  5. Wisk 2 egg yolks and 3 tbsp water together.

  6. Brush each cream horn with egg yolk mixture. Sprinkle or roll in the sanding sugar. Place on paper towel, allowing access egg wash to be absorbed.

  7. Transfer to parchment paper.

  8. Bake for 7 minutes, rotate the baking sheet, then place a sheet of foil right on top, to prevent cream horns from burning.

  9. Bake for another 8+ minutes until cream horns are golden in color and baked through. Remove from oven to a cooling rack.

  10. Allow the baked shells to cool. Remove the mold.

Melt & Dip Cream Horn Shells

  1. Place 3/4 cup chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted with some visible chunks still there. Remove from microwave and continue stirring until smooth and no more chunks are visible. DO NOT overheat, or the chocolate will cease and separate, making it unusable.

  2. Dip the open end of the cream horn into the melted chocolate, shake off excess and place onto parchment paper or foil. Allow to set.

Make Sweetened Condensed Milk Custard

  1. Heat cups milk until rolling boil.

  2. Meanwhile, whisk together 3 eggs and 1 can condensed milk.

  3. Also, whisk 1/2 cup milk & 4 tbsp flour until smooth.

  4. Pour the flour mixture into the condensed milk mixture and thoroughly whisk.

  5. While continuously stirring the egg mixture, slowly pour the hot milk into it.

  6. Pour the uncooked egg custard back into the pot and cook over medium heat, 4-5 minutes past boiling point, all the while using a spatula to quickly stir the custard and prevent it from scorching. Square ended spatula works best as it covers more surface at once.

  7. Once flour taste has dissipated, remove the custard from the heat, add 1 stick butter and allow it to melt on top, creating a butter seal on top.

  8. Bring the custard to room temperature, then stir in the butter and 1 Tbsp vanilla until smooth.

Assembly

  1. Snip off the end of the pastry bag or a ziplock bag and fill each cream horn with custard.

  2. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Hi! I was wondering if custard could be made the day before?
    Also, is the custard sturdy? I am planning to transport the cream horns. Thank you!

      It’s been a while, but I believe I re-tested the recipe and 4 tablespoons was better than 2. So, use 4 🙂

    Ok, 1 stick of butter cold or room temp?
    Thanks!

    · Reply

    • Actually it doesn’t matter, since it will be melted by the hot custard 🙂

  • Jessica

    I am ready to make these. The recipe doesn’t say how many eggs for the custard. Also says 2tbsp without an ingredient. I am guessing its for flour. Please respond ASAP.

    • Hi Jessica,
      I just updated the recipe now. Thanks for the heads up!

    These were delicious! A great recipe. I used 1 tsp vanilla instead of 1 Tbsp as my vanilla extract is quite strong in flavour. I usually make the normal Chantilly Cream Horns but will definitely be adding these Boston Cream Pie Cream Horns to my recipe book as well. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

    • Thanks Rachel! Yeah, my vanilla is not very strong so I put more, but it’s great that you’re able to use your own judgement to make it work for your ingredients! Thanks for using my recipes & giving me some feedback 🙂

    I wish I had read this all the way through before starting. I realized it doesn’t specify how much flour or how many eggs in the custard. I see above someone asked how many eggs, but I still don’t know how much flour.

    · Reply

    • I apologize for this 🙁 You need 4 tablespoons of flour.
      There have been some glitches on my website that are not letting me edit my recipes, I am working on it, but as soon as it is fixed I will edit the recipe to add the flour & eggs.
