Serve immediately for the crispiest texture. Store pastry cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Puff pastry cones are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day.
Variations:
Add cocoa powder to the pastry cream for a chocolate twist.
Fill cones with whipped cream and fresh berries for a lighter option.
Drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel before serving.
FAQ:
Q: Can I make the cones ahead of time?
A: Yes, but keep them in an airtight container to maintain crispiness. Fill with cream just before serving.
Q: What if I don’t have cone molds?
A: You can fashion molds from sturdy aluminum foil or shape the pastry into spirals on a baking sheet.
Q: Can I use store-bought custard instead of making pastry cream?
A: Yes, but homemade pastry cream offers the best flavor and texture.
