Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams Dark chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons Nut-free almond flavoring
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 pinch Fine sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the dark chocolate chips, stirring continuously until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat.
Stir in the nut-free almond flavoring to the melted chocolate mixture. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
Dust your work surface with a little all-purpose flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal-sized squares, giving you a total of 8 squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the chocolate mixture in the center of each square.
Fold each pastry square into a triangle by bringing one corner of the square to the opposite corner, enclosing the chocolate filling.
Seal the edges by pressing them together with a fork to ensure the filling doesn’t leak during baking.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of salt. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the top of each pastry triangle with the egg wash.
Sprinkle a little granulated sugar over each pastry for a touch of sweetness and crunch.
Place the prepared pastries on the lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your nut-free almond chocolate pastries with a cup of tea or coffee!
