A simple and delicious Chocolate Puff Pastry recipe featuring flaky puff pastry filled with rich chocolate, brushed with egg wash for a beautiful golden finish. Perfect as a sweet treat or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

Filling

  • 100g dark or milk chocolate, chopped or in chips

Glaze

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth it. Cut into desired shapes or squares large enough to hold the chocolate filling.
  2. Add Chocolate Filling: Place a small amount of chopped chocolate or chocolate chips in the center of each pastry piece, being careful not to overfill.
  3. Seal the Pastry: Fold the pastry over the chocolate to form a pocket or triangle. Press the edges firmly together to seal, using a fork to crimp the edges if desired.
  4. Brush with Egg Wash: Lightly brush the tops of each sealed puff pastry with the beaten egg to achieve a shiny, golden-brown finish when baked.
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the prepared puff pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm for a delightful gooey chocolate center.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry is well chilled before baking to achieve the best puff.
  • Use good quality chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Customize by adding nuts or a sprinkle of sugar on top before baking for extra texture and sweetness.
  • Can be frozen before baking; bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
