Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dust a clean work surface with the flour, then roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into a slightly larger rectangle (approximately 12 x 16 inches).
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, divide the pastry sheet into 6 equal rectangles.
Place a small piece of dark chocolate (about 15-20 grams) in the center of each rectangle, followed by 3-4 fresh raspberries.
Fold each rectangle in half over the filling to form a square, pressing the edges together firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative look and to ensure the filling stays inside during baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the puff pastries with the egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each pastry to allow for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. Dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Raspberry Chocolate Puffs with a cup of coffee or tea!
