Crispy and buttery puff pastry cannoncini (horns) filled with velvety and rich custard cream
I want to start the new year with the recipe of something special. Something Italian. Something that I simply LOVE. Something that is … what’s the right word?!?… DESSERT of course!!
And I don’t mean any random dessert but a crispy and buttery puff pastry shell exploding with rich and sinfully creamy custard.
Here is all I love (and need) in a pastry: lick-your-finger delicious (seriously!), easy to make (I used frozen puff pastry to make things easier), and oh-so pretty.
Take a look!
