Treat yourself to these Simple Chocolate Puff Pastry Rolls, a quick and delightful sweet snack that pairs the flakiness of puff pastry with the rich taste of melted chocolate.
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of ready-made puff pastry
- Dark chocolate, broken into small pieces or strips
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon of milk
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into 8 squares, or adjust the size according to how large you want your rolls to be.
- Place a piece or strip of chocolate at the edge of each square. Roll the pastry over the chocolate once, add another piece of chocolate, and then roll up completely.
- Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they're not too close to each other.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk, then brush the mixture over each roll to give them a glossy finish when baked.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls puff up and turn a delicious golden brown.
- Allow the rolls to cool for a moment on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack.
- Just before serving, give the chocolate rolls a generous dusting of powdered sugar for a sweet and attractive finish.
