Cooking instructions for Pumpkin Puff Pastry Cone:
- Warm up your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Wrap a sheet of aluminum coil around each cone to cover every inch of it and tuck the free ends within the hollowed cavity of the cone.
- Grease the foiled cones with vegetable oil cooking spray and set aside.
- Dust some flour on the working surface generously and spread the puff pastry across it.
- Slice it along the crease marks to get 3 equal-sized rectangles and slice each of them longitudinally into 4 strips.
- Pinch the ends of a couple of strips together and wind it around each cone, overlapping the edges slightly and grease it with more cooking spray.
- Dust a tsp of sugar on it and place it on a pre-greased baking sheet, with the seam side of the strip facing down.
- Make rest of the wrapped cones in a similar manner and place them on the baking sheet, side by side.
- Bake them in the oven for about 15 minutes or until they brown nicely.
- Set aside on a wire rack, outside the oven, until cool enough to handle.
- Carefully remove the cones from the baked strips and set aside.
- Empty the can of pumpkin puree into the milk and whisk them well together along with a dash of cinnamon and the pie filling mix, until they form a thick blend.
- Pour the heavy cream in a separate bowl, attached to a stand mixer, and whisk it at high speed until they form soft peaks.
- Pour it into the pumpkin mousse and fold it until they blend together thoroughly to form a uniform blend.
- Stuff it into the pastry cones and set aside.
- Fold the pecans into the caramel topping until they are distributed evenly throughout the mixture.
- Drizzle it over the stuffed pastry cones and serve right away.
