Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought, thawed if frozen)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet until it's about 12x12 inches.
Cut the pastry sheet into 4 equal squares using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
Place approximately 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips in the center of each square.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash to help seal the turnovers.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal the pastry.
Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash to give them a golden sheen when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the turnovers cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
