Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (approximately 400g) puff pastry sheet
- 150 grams dark chocolate
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheet if frozen, according to the package instructions. It should be pliable but cold.
Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Chop the dark chocolate into smaller pieces if using a bar, or use chocolate chips for ease. Place about 2 tablespoons of chocolate in the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the chocolate inside. Press the edges together firmly to seal, and crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative finish.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash over the top of each pastry triangle to give them a golden, shiny finish when baked.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for expansion during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and transfer the pastries to a wire rack to cool slightly.
If desired, dust with powdered sugar for added sweetness and visual appeal before serving.
Serve warm to enjoy the gooey melted chocolate filling, or at room temperature for a less decadent texture.
