Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheet at room temperature for 30 minutes, or follow package instructions for thawing.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust with flour.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of milk to make an egg wash. Set aside.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and gently unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Roll it out slightly to smooth out creases, keeping a rectangle shape.
Cut the puff pastry sheet into six equal squares using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate mixture into the center of each square.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner over the filling to meet the opposite corner. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Brush the tops of the triangles with the egg wash to ensure a golden, flaky crust.
Place the filled puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and flaky.
Remove the puffs from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve the Lava Puffs warm for a delightful experience of gooey, molten chocolate filling!
