Chocolate
Puff Pastries
Makes 9
Ingredients
* 1 (9 1/2-inch-square) puff pastry, thawed
according to package directions
* 1 egg yolk
* 2 tablespoons heavy cream
* 2 1/4 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut into 9
pieces- (I used Ghiradelli chocolate bar cut up)
* Dove milk chocolate sauce
* vanilla ice cream
* powdered sugar
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle
pastry with a little more flour, and roll out to form a 12-inch square. Brush away excess flour,
and trim edges to make a perfect square.
2. Cut puff pastry into nine 3-inch squares, and transfer them to a parchment-lined baking
sheet. Discard excess.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and heavy cream. Neatly brush a little of the egg
wash along two adjacent edges of each square. Place a piece of chocolate just below the center
of each square, and fold down unwashed edges to enclose chocolate and form a triangle. Using
your fingers, gently but firmly press puff-pastry edges together to seal.
4. Place baking sheet in freezer for 20 minutes, or until pastry is chilled. Remove from freezer,
and brush tops liberally with remaining egg wash. Place in oven, and bake until triangles are
puffed and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Serve drizzled with Dove Milk Chocolate sauce, vanilla ice cream (don't skimp on the cheap
stuff for this dessert), and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
