Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 100 grams Dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate, butter, and heavy cream over low heat, stirring regularly until smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the instant coffee granules until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out one puff pastry sheet. Spread the chocolate-coffee mixture evenly over the entire surface.
Place the second puff pastry sheet over the first to sandwich the chocolate-coffee layer. Gently press them together.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the layered pastry into 1-inch wide strips.
Take each strip and twist it carefully several times to form a spiral. Place the twisted strips onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash. Brush each twist with the egg wash to give them a golden sheen when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are puffed up and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the twists to cool slightly on a wire rack.
Lightly dust the Mocha Twists with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
