Description
Delicious caramel-filled pastry cones that are crispy on the outside and rich on the inside.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package puff pastry sheets (thawed if frozen)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (for caramel)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- Butter or non-stick spray (for greasing the molds)
Instructions
- Prepare the Caramel:
- Place the can of sweetened condensed milk in a large pot. Cover it completely with water.
- Bring the water to a gentle boil and simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours. Ensure the can is always covered with water to avoid bursting.
- Carefully remove the can and let it cool completely before opening. Once opened, stir until smooth to create caramel.
- Prepare the Pastry Cones:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases.
- Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut the sheets into strips about 1 inch wide.
- Shape the Cones:
- Grease metal cone molds with butter or non-stick spray.
- Wrap each strip around a mold starting at the pointed end, overlapping slightly as you go.
- Mix the beaten egg with a tablespoon of water and brush over each rolled cone for a golden finish.
- Baking:
- Place the cones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow them to cool slightly before gently removing the molds.
- Fill the Cones:
- Once the cones and caramel are cooled, fill a piping bag with the caramel.
- Pipe the caramel into each cone, filling generously.
Notes
- If you don’t have cone molds, you can make your own using foil by shaping it into a cone.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the caramel.
- Dust with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
- Store in an airtight container if not serving immediately to keep the cones crispy.
