Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (sugar-free)
- 200 grams Sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-free confectioners sweetener (such as erythritol)
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the sugar-free puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking. Using a sharp knife or a pastry cutter, cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the edges of each puff pastry square with the egg wash.
Fold each pastry square into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite corner, sealing the edges by pressing firmly with a fork.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
While the pastries are baking, prepare the sugar-free chocolate sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and add the heavy cream. Stir frequently and do not let it boil.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the sugar-free dark chocolate chips, stirring until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sugar-free confectioners sweetener. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
Allow the baked pastries to cool slightly on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.
Dip each puff pastry partially into the chocolate sauce, or use a spoon to drizzle the sauce over the pastries.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious sugar-free chocolate-covered puff pastries!
