Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/4 cup ice water
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Make the Pastry: In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Shape the Horns: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into strips. Wrap each strip around a horn mold, overlapping slightly. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before removing from molds.
Prepare the Chocolate Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Fold in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract until well combined.
Fill the Horns: Using a piping bag, fill each cooled pastry horn with the chocolate cream mixture.
Garnish and Serve: Dust with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
