Chocolate puff pastry combines buttery, flaky puff pastry with rich, smooth chocolate for a delightful treat. It’s quick to make and perfect for a sweet snack or dessert.

Ingredients

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

100g (about 3.5 oz) of dark, milk, or white chocolate (choose according to your preference)

1 egg (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon of sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)

A pinch of salt (optional, for balancing sweetness)

Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a flat surface and slice each sheet into 4-5 rectangles to make 8-10 pastries.
  3. Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt in the microwave or using a double boiler. Stir in vanilla extract and salt if desired.
  4. Spoon about one tablespoon of melted chocolate onto the center of each pastry rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Fold the pastry over the chocolate and seal the edges, using a fork if desired for a decorative touch.
  6. Brush the pastries with a thin layer of egg wash, and optionally sprinkle sugar on top for sweetness.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
  8. Let the pastries cool for a few minutes, then dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Notes

These pastries can be stored at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Reheat pastries at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.

For a nutty twist, add chopped nuts to the chocolate filling.

You can freeze the unbaked pastries and bake them from frozen when ready to enjoy.
