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? 😕
These are a bit tricky to make, not gonna lie. I burnt a few and the cones didn’t hold well. Maybe I need more practice?
Practice makes perfect! I’ve burnt a few too, but the flavors are worth it. Just keep trying!
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.
Simple and tasty, but can you use frozen berries instead? Don’t want to waste money on fresh ones.
Too much work for what it is. Just buy ice cream and some cones.
Yummy!
These cones are so delicious! I made them for a party and they were a hit. Everyone loved them!
Who knew puff pastry could be so fancy? Love the idea! But I used frozen berries instead and they were soggy. Oops!
Yummy! I added some chocolate chips with the berries—so good! 😍
Yum! Perfect for summer gatherings. I added some mint leaves too 🌿.
Umm, is the puff pastry really that easy to handle? Mine turned into a sticky mess. Not sure what I did wrong.
My kids loved these! However, my dough was a bit flat, haha. What did I do wrong? Help!
Are these cones supposed to be crunchy? Mine turned out kinda soft. 😒
These look like they are from a bakery! Gonna make these for my kids this weekend.
Sounds delicious! I’m sure your kids will love them. I can’t wait to see their faces when they try these!
I dunno, they look kinda hard to make. What if I mess up the pastry? Maybe just buy them instead?
Do I really need to use vanilla? It feels pointless. Just more sugary stuff.
Just made these for a family gathering and they were a hit! Everyone loved the combination of berries and cream. Will definitely make again!
These cones are a hit at my parties! Everyone loves them, and they’re super easy to make!
Really? I didn’t find them that easy. Took me forever to get the pastry right. Still tasted good tho!
I’ve tried these too! They look fancy but are so simple to make. Great for parties!
I think you could use any fruit! I used bananas instead of berries and it was kind of mushy. Not my best idea.
I’m skeptical about the cream. Can’t I just use yogurt? Seems healthier!
These are so delicious! Made them for a party and everyone raved about them. Will definitely make again.
So glad you enjoyed them! They’re always a hit at gatherings!
These cones are amazing! So easy to make and a big hit at my party. Will definitely make again!
I dont know about using whipped cream, maybe cool whip is better? 🤔
Great recipe! Super easy but time-consuming. I added some chocolate sauce to the cream, yum!
What do you mean by greased cone-shaped mold? I just used foil and shaped it myself. Is that wrong?
Just made these and they look great! I didn’t follow the recipe exactly (substituted cream with yogurt) but still turned out good.
Just wow! So delicious! I might eat them all myself if I’m not careful. Thanks for sharing!
Yum! But I didn’t have mixed berries so used canned cherries instead. Still turned out fine. 😋
It was okay but not as good as I thought. Maybe I expected too much.
I get what you mean! Sometimes the expectations are just too high. Maybe try them again with fresh berries?
I don’t know what you expected. They’re just cones filled with berries, not magic! 😂
Just okay. The cream was too sweet for my taste. Maybe add some lemon juice next time?
My pastry didn’t rise much and ended up flat. Not sure what went wrong???
It might be because your oven temp was off or maybe the pastry was too warm before baking? Keep trying, you’ll get it right!
I don’t understand how these would taste good. Pastry is just a bunch of layers, right? Not for me.
This was too complicated for me! I prefer simpler desserts. Maybe next time I’ll just buy ready-made.
I get it, some recipes can be a bit of a hassle! But these cones are so worth it! You might surprise yourself if you give it another try. 😊
Why not try simpler fruits with whipped cream? Like just strawberries! Or just buy a pie, much easier! 🍰
Just wanna say ‘wow’! So good, my dad even liked them and he hates desserts!
That’s amazing! I’m glad to hear your dad loved them. My family is super picky too, so it’s hard to please everyone. Gonna try this recipe for sure!
Really? Desserts? I thought puff pastry was too fancy for some. Can these be made with different fruits? Like apples? Seems interesting.
Super easy recipe! My kids had fun helping me fill the cones. Will definitely make again!
I had a hard time with the pastry. It fell apart on me and tasted kinda bland. Not sure if I’ll try again.
Can I use frozen berries instead? I have a big bag in my freezer but I ain’t buying fresh ones.
Yummy!!! Love these! Perfect dessert for my book club meeting.
These cones are just amazing! Perfect for impressing my friends too.
Puff pasty or puff privacy ughh 😂. Either way, this recipe is a keeper!
So delicious! The berries on top make it look fancy. Perfect for summer!
I couldn’t agree more! The berries do add such a lovely touch. Perfect summer dessert for sure!
I tried this recipe and they turned out soggy. Maybe I overfilled them? Not sure I’ll try again.
