We increasingly buy many sweets in stores. They have an attractive appearance, but long shelf life makes you think about their composition. To be guaranteed that your favorite dessert will not harm your health, prepare it at home yourself. Puff pastry tubes with homemade protein cream made from natural products have a taste and aroma incomparable to store-bought ones. And preparing them is not so difficult. The couple of hours spent is worth it - in return you get long-forgotten unique taste sensations and gratitude from your family. Those who have very little free time can use ready-made puff pastry for baking.
Calorie intake per day
As such, there is no single and generally accepted daily calorie intake. According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization, “energy entering the body (in calories) must be balanced with energy expended.” Thus, your individual calorie intake depends, first of all, on the nature of your work, level of physical activity, gender, age and a number of other factors. However, on the Internet you can find many tables and calculators of unknown origin, offering information on daily values, supposedly based on authoritative sources. We believe that the quality of this information is quite questionable.
The most reliable way to determine individual calorie needs is to simply calculate the energy value of food consumed during the day (or several days). Just record your normal daily diet on paper. Write down what and how much you ate during the day. Calorie content can be directly calculated using information from product labels and using our website. Provided that you are healthy and your weight does not change much with your current diet, the results obtained can be conditionally considered your daily norm.
To lose weight, you need to slightly reduce your daily energy intake. If you maintain your current lifestyle, you will experience a slight calorie deficit because your costs will remain the same. This will lead to the gradual burning of your fat reserves. What exactly the deficit should be is up to you to decide. We strongly advise against increasing it sharply, because... it won't lead to anything good. Reduce your calorie intake gradually and lose weight slowly. This way you won’t have to torture yourself and break down from time to time. And of course, before making any dietary changes, we strongly recommend that you consult with your doctor or qualified dietitian.

Step-by-step preparation
- Prepare all the ingredients according to the list and a work surface. You can use store-bought puff pastry without yeast or homemade quick-cooking puff pastry. It is prepared very simply and quickly, you just need to mix all the ingredients: flour, water, vinegar, eggs, cold butter and salt. Sprinkle flour on your work surface and roll out the dough to 2mm thickness.
- Then, using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips 2.5–3 cm thick and 35–40 cm long. The longer the strip, the larger the tube. Choose the length yourself depending on what size tube you want.
- We wrap the strips overlapping on metal cones and place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. If you don’t have a special cone, you can make it at home. Roll a cone out of thick cardboard, secure with a stapler and wrap in foil.
- Bake the tubes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 15 minutes. They should be golden in color and come away from the cones well. In this way we bake all the tubes.
- We start preparing the cream by pouring 75 g of sugar into a saucepan and pouring in 20 ml of water, put it on medium heat and heat it to a temperature of 116 degrees. It is good to use a kitchen thermometer for this purpose. If this is not the case, then we check the readiness of the syrup by raising the spoon, the syrup should flow down in a thin thread. Add one protein, a pinch of salt and a pinch of citric acid to a deep bowl. Beat with a mixer first at minimum speed, gradually increasing to maximum. You can beat it by hand, but it will take a lot of time.
- Without ceasing to beat, pour the syrup into the protein mixture in a thin stream. Continue beating until the mass increases in volume and holds its shape well. Transfer the finished cream into a pastry bag and fill the cooled tubes. This amount of ingredients makes approximately 12 tubes.
- Place crispy tubes with delicate custard protein cream on a plate and enjoy.

Tubes with protein cream
Summer is coming very soon and it’s time to actively think about your “shapes”, but how can you live without sweet and delicious desserts, pastries, and cakes?! We, as always, found a way out of the situation - tubes with protein cream .
These are light tubes with airy cream inside. The lightness of the tubes is given by the yeast-free puff pastry, and the protein-custard cream is just like a “sweet cloud”.
The recipe for tubes with protein cream was very popular in Soviet times. There are many recipes in accordance with GOST standards. We suggest taking a simpler route and making tubes from ready-made puff pastry without yeast, since we have always been a supporter of spending a minimum amount of time on baking.
This sweetness will appeal not only to adults but also to children! For preparation, we used acacia honey , which is known to be hypoallergenic, so it can be given to children without fear.
So let's get started.
To prepare tubes with protein cream you will need:
- one sheet of puff pastry without yeast
Cream:
- 2 egg whites
- 50 gr. honey (you can find it right now and order it for home delivery in the “Honey” section)
- 150 gr. Sahara
- 50 ml. drinking water at room temperature
- vanilla
- a pinch of salt
- pinch of citric acid
Powdered sugar for decoration
Tubes with protein cream
Preparation:
First of all, you need to defrost the puff pastry and cut it into strips of equal width (see video recipe).
There is no need to roll out the dough, we just stretch it a little with our hands so that there is enough to wrap the mold for the future tube.
Preparing the cream. To do this, add water and sugar to a saucepan and bring the syrup to a boil. You can check the readiness of the syrup in a fairly simple way - drop a drop of syrup into a glass of cold water. As a result, the drop should turn into a medium-soft ball when picked up.
Separate the whites from the yolks (we only need the whites). Add honey, vanilla and citric acid. Beat until thick foam forms.
Then, without ceasing to beat the protein mass, add syrup to it in a thin stream.
Continue beating for about 10-15 minutes until you get a thick and airy cream.
We wrap the molds with dough and bake in the oven on baking paper for 20-30 minutes.
Place the protein-custard into a pastry sleeve and fill the cooled tubes on both sides.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
Bon appetit!
With Love and care for your health, Honey Crimea
