Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter to the flour and mix using your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water, mixing gently with a fork or hands, until the dough holds together without crumbling.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness and cut into 4x4-inch squares.
Place the squares onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush this over the pastry squares.
Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
To make the chocolate drizzle, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until warm. Do not boil.
Remove from heat and add the sugar-free chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled pastries.
Allow the chocolate to set before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free treat!
