Ingredients
Scale
Puff Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen, approx. 8x8 inches)
Filling
- 3–4 tablespoons chocolate spread (such as Nutella)
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
- Prepare the Pastry: Lay out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out to smooth any creases.
- Fill the Pastry: Spoon the chocolate spread onto one half of the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges to allow sealing.
- Seal the Pastry: Fold the pastry over the chocolate to create a semi-circle or rectangle, pressing the edges firmly together. You can crimp the edges with a fork to secure the seal and prevent leakage during baking.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the entire surface of the sealed pastry with the beaten egg to give it a glossy, golden finish when baked.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly on a wire rack to firm up, then serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For an extra decadent treat, add chopped nuts or dried fruit with the chocolate spread before sealing.
- Ensure the edges are well sealed to prevent chocolate from oozing out during baking.
- Use cold puff pastry and a hot oven for maximum puff and flakiness.
- Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of melted chocolate for presentation.
