Puff pastry cones with berries are the kind of dessert that feels effortlessly fancy. Crisp, golden layers of pastry are shaped into delicate cones, then filled with lightly sweetened whipped cream and topped with fresh, juicy berries. The result is a beautiful and delicious treat that’s perfect for spring and summer gatherings, elegant brunches, or anytime you want to impress without spending hours in the kitchen.
The beauty of this dessert starts with the puff pastry itself. Store-bought puff pastry makes preparation simple and accessible—just cut it into strips and wrap them around metal cone molds (or improvise with rolled foil). Once baked to golden perfection, the cones are light, airy, and irresistibly flaky.
The filling is typically a vanilla whipped cream or mascarpone mixture, lightly sweetened and whipped to soft peaks. Pipe the cream into the cooled pastry cones and top them generously with a mix of fresh berries—strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries all work wonderfully. The creaminess balances the tart berries, while the crispy pastry adds texture and structure.
For a decorative touch, dust the finished cones with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate. You can even customize the filling with lemon zest, a hint of almond extract, or a spoonful of berry jam swirled through the cream.
Puff pastry cones with berries are easy to prepare ahead of time—just bake the cones and store them in an airtight container. Fill them just before serving to keep everything crisp and fresh.
This dessert is proof that a few simple ingredients can turn into something extraordinary. Light, colorful, and bursting with flavor, puff pastry cones with berries are a delightful way to end a meal or sweeten up a celebration.

5 stars! My kids loved helping make these! Kids + kitchen = fun mess! 😂
Sounds like such a fun activity! I can’t wait to try this with my kids too! 😊
Can you use frozen berries instead? I got loads in my freezer! 🤔
These cones are so cute! Perfect for my summer party. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Haven’t tried it yet, but pretty sure I can do better with just cookies haha!
Yum! I love puff pastry and berries. Made these last week and everyone devoured them!
I really liked it, but the powdered sugar was too sweet for my taste.
This looks a bit too complicated for me, not sure if I’ll try it. 😬
I can see why you’d think that! But it’s really not too bad once you get the hang of it. Just take your time. 😊
Nah, it’s not that complicated! Just roll some pastry around a cone. My kids could do it! 🍦
I followed this recipe, but my pastry came out soggy. Maybe I used too much cream? 😕
Honestly, this was kinda hard to follow. My cones didn’t turn out right at all. Maybe I’m just not good at baking. 2 stars.
Baking can be tricky, but don’t be too hard on yourself! I struggled at first too. Maybe try practicing a bit more or watching a video tutorial next time?
Very delicious! I used different berries and it worked well too. My husband loved them and asked for more! 5 stars from me.
Eh, they were okay I guess. I thought they would be crunchy but they just soggy after a few minutes. Not that great. 1 star.
These were amazing! I made them for my kids’ birthday party and they were gone in minutes. Definitely a 5-star recipe!
I’m so glad to hear that! These cones are a hit for any party. 🎉
Puff pastry is really just a cheat, right? My grandma made it from scratch and it was way better than this. Who needs ducks to make dough? 3 stars for the effort.
