Baking on weekends are bliss.. no rush.. so I love to experiment during this time. Always have a special thing for dark chocolate so anything with that is heaven alike to me! I tried the good old recipe of puff pastry having a gooey chocholate-y center inside. Its super easy and kids/not-so-kids everyone love it! You can have it with your morning or afternoon tea/coffee on a lazy day. Also, we can not really go wrong with chocolate, right? Let me know if you try this! Go baking!
Ingredients
Puff pastry- 1 sheet
Dark chocolate (I used 48%)- 1 bar
Almond/Nuts- optional
Egg- 1 (for wash)
Process:
1. Preheat the oven at 425 degrees.
2. Thaw the puff pastry (usually I just keep it on the kitchen bench for 15 minutes or so).
3. Open the pastry and place the chocolate bar in the middle.
4. Now as of the picture, cut the pastry diagonally.
5. Now trim the edges and fold the upper and lower portion. For sides, make it as a braid (picture) by folding the pastry diagonally, one side after the other.
6. Make sure its tight otherwise you will see burst of chocolate during the baking.
7. Now gently give egg wash and sprinkle nuts.
8. Bake for 25 minutes or until crisp-brown.
9. Serve immediately, it will not taste as good if it gets cold! The texture is crispy with a gooey chocolate-y center inside! Yum!
Enjoy!
