 Hey Place of My Taste readers! I’m Rebecca from Living Better Together and I’m so excited to be back here again with you all this month sharing a sweet pastry perfect for the fall season. Like most people this time of year, I really enjoy the pumpkin and chocolate flavor combo, you might remember my Chocolate Pumpkin Chip Pudding Cookies from last month as evidence. And we know Aniko loves it too thanks to her tempting Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles! So if you fall into the pumpkin chocolate loving group like we do, then you’re going to LOVE these Pumpkin Chocolate Cream Horns!

 When I made these I posted this photo on Instagram, everyone kept asking me if cream horns were hard, and the answer is… THEY”RE NOT! Thanks to the help of some handy dandy molds and frozen pastry dough, they’re super simple to make! Cream Horns are very popular here in Maine, though when I worked at the grocery store in high school, out of towners would constantly as what they were. So if you have no idea what a cream horn is, that’s okay, I love you anyway. Okay, really though, cream horns are cone/horn/tube shaped pastry dough that’s buttery and flaky and filling with cream and sometimes fruit or jam. I made these Chocolate Strawberry Cream Horns last fall, but my favorite is a chocolate cream filling… YUM! These ones though, have a sweet pumpkin pie filling with a hint of spice! Plus, they’re dipped in dark chocolate! How can you go wrong!
