Strawberry Mint Puff Pastry Cream Horns

The last few strawberries were left in my garden, so I need to make something with only a small amount of strawberries/filling. Since I like cream horns, but the traditional Slovak version is made with too sweet egg white filling which I don´t like, I made my version of cream horns. I used whipped cream, mint and fresh strawberries instead of the egg white filling and created Strawberry Mint Puff Pastry Cream Horns. They are quick to make, thanks to the puff pastry and simple filling, if you use the already rolled puff pastry you can have them even sooner. The crunchy puff pastry and the delicate filling match together. The combination of strawberries and mint may seem strange to someone, but it tastes refreshing and so summery that in the end it is not even strange. If you are looking for a variation of traditional cream horns, why not to try this summer version.
