Cream Cheese Cookie Horns Recipes

CREAM HORNS (LADY LOCKS)

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the butter, vegetable shortening, and sugar for about 4 minutes or until light and fluffy. Then mix in the egg yolks. Finally, mix in the flour and water until combined. Chill dough for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Sprinkle your work surface with flour. Roll out 1/4 of the dough at a time until it's about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into strips that are 1/2-inch wide and 10 inches long. Then wind the strips around the foil-wrapped clothespins (or lady lock molds.) Bake on a cookie sheet for about 15 minutes or until the horns are just barely starting to brown.
• Remove the horns from the oven. Allow them to cool for about 2 minutes; then carefully remove them from the clothespins. (Don't let the horns cool completely on the molds or the horns will crumble easily. The horns will also crack more if they are overbaked.) Let the horns finish cooling.
• In the meantime, prepare the filling. In a saucepan, heat the milk and flour over medium-high heat while constantly whisking. Cook 8-10 minutes until thick. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter, vegetable shortening, and salt 5-6 minutes or until fluffy. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Then mix in the milk and flour paste and vanilla. Beat until combined and fluffy.
• Put the filling in a piping bag and then fill each horn. Before serving, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Store refrigerated in an airtight container.

• Place them onto a greased pan.
• Bake then in preheated oven for 18 minutes or until light golden brown.
• Remove from the oven.
• Remove each horn from the mold hot to prevent from horn sticking to the mold. Use a towel to hold the end of the mold so you don't burn your hands. Let the horns cool completely before filling with cream.
• Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy in texture.
• Add powdered sugar and mix it together increasing mixer speed gradually (unless you want to stand in a dust cloud of powdered sugar) until all combined and smooth to texture with no lumps.
• Scrape down the mixer bowl to remove stuck cream cheese and beat on high until thickens.
• Scrape down the mixer bowl again, to make sure all the cream cheese is removed from the walls of the bowl and beat the cream once more for about 15 seconds.
• Finally, add liquid heavy whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture, start beating on low gradually increasing mixing speed. As the heavy whipping cream gets combined with the cream cheese it will liquefy more. The frosting will thicken during the mixing process. Do not overbeat the frosting! As soon as it starts to hold its shape the frosting is ready.
• Fill a decorating bag and Wilton 32 attachment with cream halfway (it's easier that way to squeeze the cream into horns). Pipe the cream into each end of the horn.
