I made these Cream Filled Pizzelles for the main choir gathering at our church today and wanted to share it with you all too. I’ve been making this desert for over ten years and it doesn’t get old. Its usually made for parties but every once in a while you can treat yourself.
There are a lot of different shapes of pizzelles. I had this one ever since I started making them. It’s very durable, I never had problems with it. Also, you may make many different kinds of cream recipes for it, but this is my best kind of cream for this dessert. The caramel just perfectly blends with this recipe of pizzelles. I like to refrigerate them for at least 6 hours before serving so the cream can set little more and the pizzelles get a little softer.
I usually make two servings of them so I use up the whole can of Dulce de Leche. I have frozen them before and they are the same after thawing. Just be sure you thaw them in the fridge only. Have fun making them! 🙂
Batter ingredients:
5 large – eggs
1 cup – sugar
4 oz. – imperial margarine
2 oz. – unsalted butter
1 ¼ cup – all-purpose flour
Cream filling ingredients:
8 oz. – cool whip thaw(in the fridge only)
½ can – Dulce de Leche
You will need Pezzelle maker (I bought mine at Bad Bath and Beyond). You can purchase different shape of Pizzelle Maker on amazon too.
Instructions:
1. Place butter and margarine into a small bowl and melt it in the microwave for 30 second. Set aside and let it cool.
2. Add eggs and sugar into electric mixer bowl and beat it on high for five minutes.
3. Add melted and cooled batter with margarine. Mix it for another minute.
4. Add flour and mix on low until combined.
5. Preheat Pizzelle maker. Pour some batter with ice-cream scooper onto each ring. Bake it for 1 minute.
6. Remove from Pizzelle maker and roll them hot. Pizzelles gets hard as they cool, and you will not be able to roll them.
7. Let rolled pizzelles cool completely before filling them with cream.
How to make cream filling:
Place cool whip and Dulce de Leche into a small bowl. Mix it on high for 2 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl down and mix it for another 3 minutes or until combined.
Assembling the Pizzelles:
1.Place cream into piping bag with Wilton 21 attachment. Pipe some cream to each side of the roll.
2. Repeat filling all the rolls with the same step. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.

Update 3/18: I no longer use margarine for this recipe. Substitute margarine with regular butter. I’ve been using organic sugar and flour, they turn out great. Also, I no longer use Cool whip. Substitute 8 oz. of cool whip whip 2cups of cold heavy cream.

February 13, 2015 at 5:11 pmValya privet! These look beautiful and I’d like to make the recipe. As I was checking the ingredients I got confused about the butter and margarine. It says 4 oz but looks like it’s a half of that. Would u clarify just to make sure.please.thank you in advance

February 13, 2015 at 5:43 pmI’m sorry! I’m so used to making two servings of it and made a mistake. Thank you so much for catching before any one made this recipe. It’s already fixed. You need 2 oz unsalted butter(half a stick) and 4 oz imperial margarine (one whole stick) melted and cooled or warm.

February 13, 2015 at 7:52 pmThank you for sharing your version of pizzelles. I have a recipe I have used a few times before but mine always crack and I can’t figure out why=( I’ll try your recipe and hope for better results=)
valya'stasteofhome.com
February 13, 2015 at 8:05 pmYou are very welcome Marina! I would love to hear what results you have after making this recipe. Can’t wait to hear back from you ; )
Marina
December 2, 2016 at 1:12 pmI tried this recipe a couple of times and good news: they definitely didn’t crack:) The only thing, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, is that they turned out very thin for me, more fragile than yours look on the picture. I had to be extra careful while filling them with cream, otherwise the edges would break.
In your most recent post you wrote that you freeze your Cream Horns. Have you tried freezing these pizzelles? I am thinking ahead, you see, already preparing for the Holidays:)
Thank you and to your girls for all of your hard work!

December 2, 2016 at 1:25 pmI think the problem was that the batter was too runny and your trubochki turn out too thin. The size of the eggs can make the recipe be different from original, so add a little more flour to make trubochki thicker. Yes, I have froze these many time and they are just as fresh and good after thawing. Merry Christmas Marina! 🙂

December 2, 2016 at 1:37 pmThank you for the quick reply! I’m putting these on my menu then. Merry Christmas!

February 18, 2015 at 7:41 amThese look amazing! Whenever i make mine they get soggy, i gotta fill them with cream right before serving to guests. Can you advise me on what to do so that they dont get soggy so quickly? i do place in fridge right after filling them, even if its for a few minutes before serving
valya'stasteofhome.com
February 18, 2015 at 8:46 pmIs your recipe same as mine? After I refrigerate mine (even for days) they are soft not soggy. If I want them crunchy, I feel them before serving. They are not soggy at all. Explain how you make your recipe so I can figure out what you are doing wrong.

February 19, 2015 at 6:02 amThese are beautiful, Valya! They look like the belong in a bakery. And I’m loving that cream filling, sounds amazing!

April 1, 2015 at 12:37 amHi Valya, these look tasty! question, why do you use butter and margarine together? can I use butter only or it will change the texture of the pizzelle? thank you so much!
valya'stasteofhome.com
April 1, 2015 at 10:07 amAdding margarine gives them a softer texture. Never used butter alone, so please let me know how it turns out for you. I hope this helps. Tx 🙂

March 11, 2017 at 11:14 amHello there. These look soo good. I want to make them. But i have a question which size of pizzelle maker do you use? The 3″ or 5″? Or advise which one is better to purchase..thanks
valya'stasteofhome.com
March 11, 2017 at 10:24 pmI have a double 3″ in diameter pizzelle maker. Also, I have a link to Amazon, where you can purchase one if you need to. Thanks for asking Raya 🙂

May 16, 2017 at 1:01 pmhi valya, i read a comment where you said you freeze them. do you freeze them filled already or just the empty pizzelis themselves and fill later? thanks. by the way this is a good recipe. they turn out great
valya'stasteofhome.com
May 16, 2017 at 1:41 pmHi Tatyana! I fill them and then freeze, because I like them soft after thawing. If you like them to be crunchy freeze them unfilled and then fill them after thawing. I hope this helps. Thank you kindly for a sweet feedback! 🙂

December 8, 2017 at 5:06 pmHi. I have looked everywhere for the dulce de leche and no one has it. Can you use the nestle sweetened condensed milk as a subsitute with the cool whip??? Thanks!
www.valyastasteofhome.com
December 8, 2017 at 5:45 pmYes, absolutely! Cook nestle or any brand of condensed milk fo 3 hour on low/med and it will be the same dulce de leche.

December 11, 2017 at 7:23 amI made this recipe many times but not with your filling. I made your recipe last night. Followed recipe but stuffing mixture seemed a lil runny. Any suggestions on how to make a stiffer type of filling so it doesnt seem like a runny mess?
www.valyastasteofhome.com
December 11, 2017 at 10:14 amDid you use cool whip or heavy cream for the cream? If you used frozen cool whip that will make the cream runny. It’s kind of hard to determine what went wrong with out more detailed explanation
Lena
December 15, 2017 at 11:49 amThank you for this recipe! Where do you buy this Mexican condensed milk? I think I bought a raw la lechera at winco.. I will try to cook it.
Would it be ok to use only butter?
Thanks!
www.valyastasteofhome.com
December 15, 2017 at 1:18 pmSafeway or most Walmart has it. Sure only butter is ok. I stopped using margarine completely a while ago.

August 12, 2018 at 12:23 pmQuestion? Can these filled pizzelles be frozen after making. I am baking cookies for our daughter’s wedding that is in less than 2 weeks. I need to get some baking done early. We’re from Pittsburgh and it’s tradition to have a cookie table filled with treats in addition to the wedding cake
Valya of Valya's Taste of Home
August 12, 2018 at 3:14 pmYes, they freeze perfectly. Thaw them in the fridge overnight, they will taste just as fresh.

February 27, 2019 at 2:57 pmWhat recipe would you use to fill with a chocolate filling? Would
Chocolate pudding work?
Valya of Valya's Taste of Home
February 27, 2019 at 8:22 pmChocolate pudding is too liquidy. I would use this cake rolls cream recipe and add cocoa powder or melted and cooled chocolate.
