Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Gluten-Free Puff Pastry
- 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the gluten-free puff pastry sheet at room temperature, following the package instructions, if it's frozen.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet gently on a lightly floured surface (use gluten-free flour or cornstarch).
Cut the pastry into 8 equal rectangles using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
Place the pastry rectangles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Brush the tops of the pastry rectangles with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
While the pastry is baking, place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl.
Melt the chocolate mixture in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth, or use a double boiler over simmering water.
Once the pastries are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
Transfer the cooled pastries to a wire rack set over a piece of parchment paper to catch any drips.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over each piece of puff pastry using a spoon or dip each piece into the chocolate to coat them partially or fully, depending on your preference.
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of salt over the chocolate coating for a flavor contrast.
Allow the chocolate to set completely (you can refrigerate them to speed up the process).
Before serving, optionally dust the pastries with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
