Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 120 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Defrost the puff pastry sheets if frozen, ensuring they are pliable but still cold to the touch.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out each puff pastry sheet into a square about 12 inches wide.
Cut each pastry sheet into four equal squares, for a total of eight squares.
Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the center of each square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the chocolate inside. Press the edges together with a fork to seal them tightly.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the pastry triangles with the egg wash to give them a golden, shiny finish when baked.
Arrange the pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1-2 inches of space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
Dust the tops generously with powdered sugar before serving warm.
