Ingredients
- 2 pieces Puff pastry sheets
- 120 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream
- 15 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Egg
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, then remove from heat.
Step 3
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the saucepan with the heated cream. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 4
Mix in the unsalted butter until fully incorporated, then let the ganache cool slightly while continuing with the next steps.
Step 5
Lightly flour your work surface and roll the puff pastry sheets out to smooth any creases. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares (8 squares total).
Step 6
Place a tablespoon of the cooled chocolate ganache in the center of each pastry square.
Step 7
Carefully gather and pinch the edges of the pastry squares together to form pouches or bundles, sealing them tightly to prevent leaks.
Step 8
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash lightly over each bundle.
Step 9
Sprinkle a small amount of granulated sugar on top of the bundles for added sweetness and texture.
Step 10
Place the bundles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for expansion.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Step 12
Allow the bundles to cool for 5-10 minutes, then dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
Step 13
Serve warm for the best flavor, with an optional drizzle of leftover ganache if desired.
