Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 120 grams Chocolate-hazelnut spread
- 2 medium Bananas
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, divide each sheet into 4 equal triangles, making a total of 8 triangles.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of chocolate-hazelnut spread onto the wider section of each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds. Place 3-4 banana slices on top of the chocolate spread on each triangle.
Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle toward the pointed tip to form a crescent shape. Make sure the tip is tucked underneath to prevent unrolling.
Place the rolled croissants onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one for expansion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the croissants are puffed up and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 5 minutes. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Chocolate Banana Croissants!
