Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 100 grams Dark chocolate
- 50 grams Almonds
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roughly chop the chocolate and almonds into small pieces.
Roll out each puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to remove any creases and make it slightly thinner.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and brush it over both sides of the pastry sheets.
Sprinkle one tablespoon of sugar over the surface of the pastry.
Evenly distribute the chopped chocolate and almonds over one of the pastry sheets.
Place the second sheet of puff pastry over the top, pressing gently to encase the chocolate and almond mixture.
Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry into rectangles, approximately 4x6 cm in size.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the surface of each pastry rectangle with the egg wash to ensure a golden finish.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm or at room temperature.
