Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 200 grams Cold unsalted butter
- 125 milliliters Cold water
- 1 pinch Salt
- 100 grams Sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Sugar-free powdered sweetener
Instructions
Start by combining the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water into the flour and butter mixture, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to rest and chill.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle the sugar-free dark chocolate chips evenly over one half of the pastry rectangle. Fold the other half of the pastry over the chocolate chips and gently press the edges to seal.
Using a sharp knife, cut the folded pastry into 12 equal portions, and place them on the prepared baking tray.
Beat the large egg in a small bowl and lightly brush it over the top of each pastry portion for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pastries are puffed and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Sprinkle with sugar-free powdered sweetener for a finishing touch.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your sugar-free chocolate puff pastry!
