Ingredients

• 1 sheet Gluten-Free Puff Pastry
• 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
• 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
• 1 whole Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (optional)
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the gluten-free puff pastry sheet at room temperature, following the package instructions, if it's frozen.

Step 3

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 4

Unroll the puff pastry sheet gently on a lightly floured surface (use gluten-free flour or cornstarch).

Step 5

Cut the pastry into 8 equal rectangles using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.

Step 6

Place the pastry rectangles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.

Step 7

Brush the tops of the pastry rectangles with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

Step 9

While the pastry is baking, place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl.

Step 10

Melt the chocolate mixture in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth, or use a double boiler over simmering water.

Step 11

Once the pastries are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.

Step 12

Transfer the cooled pastries to a wire rack set over a piece of parchment paper to catch any drips.

Step 13

Drizzle the melted chocolate over each piece of puff pastry using a spoon or dip each piece into the chocolate to coat them partially or fully, depending on your preference.

Step 14

Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of salt over the chocolate coating for a flavor contrast.

Step 15

Allow the chocolate to set completely (you can refrigerate them to speed up the process).

Step 16

Before serving, optionally dust the pastries with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
