Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 100 grams dark chocolate
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with all-purpose flour. Unroll the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.

Step 3

Place the pastry squares onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash.

Step 5

Brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash to help them brown and puff up nicely.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 7

While the pastries are baking, melt the dark chocolate with the butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt them in a microwave, at 30-second intervals, stirring in between.

Step 8

Once the pastries are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 9

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pastries in a zigzag pattern using a spoon or a piping bag.

Step 10

Once the chocolate has set slightly, dust the pastries with powdered sugar.

Step 11

Serve the chocolate drizzled pastries warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
