Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry:

  • 1 package of store-bought puff pastry (usually contains 2 sheets)

Chocolate Filling:

  • 100g (about 3.5 oz) of dark, milk, or white chocolate (choose according to your preference)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of salt (optional)

Additional:

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven – Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the oven is hot enough to give the puff pastry that perfect golden, crispy finish.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry – Unroll the puff pastry sheets and slice each into rectangles. You’ll need 8 to 10 rectangles in total.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Filling – Melt the chocolate, stir in vanilla extract and salt if desired.
  4. Step 4: Assemble the Pastries – Spoon melted chocolate onto each pastry rectangle.
  5. Step 5: Fold the Pastry – Fold the pastry over the filling to create a sealed packet.
  6. Step 6: Brush with Egg Wash – Brush each pastry with egg wash.
  7. Step 7: Bake the Pastries – Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp.
  8. Step 8: Cool and Serve – Let the pastries cool on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For a twist, try adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
  • These pastries are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
