Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan
180°C/gas 6. Unroll the pastry and cut into 1cm strips
down the longest side. Lightly oil your hand and coat the
horn moulds with oil (use metal moulds or make your own,
see tip).
-
Starting at the pointed end,
wrap a pastry strip around the mould in a spiral, with
each line overlapping slightly. Repeat to cover all the
moulds. Brush the pastry all over with the beaten egg and
sprinkle with Demerara sugar.
-
Place the horns on their sides
on a non-stick baking tray and put into the oven for 10-12
minutes, or until the horns are golden-brown and crisp.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool,
carefully remove the moulds (using a clean tea towel to
help you).
-
Whizz half the raspberries in
a food processor. Lightly whip the cream in a bowl, until
soft peaks form. Add the caster sugar and vanilla seeds
and mix to combine. Fold the blended raspberries through
the cream.
-
Spoon the cream in a piping
bag fitted with a large star nozzle, pipe the mixture into
the cream horns and top with the remaining fresh
raspberries. Serve immediately.
-
Tip: To make your own horn
moulds, use paper plates covered with double thickness
non-stick foil. Fold them into cones, 12cm long with a
diameter of 1½ cm at the wide end.
