Ingredients

• 1 sheet Frozen puff pastry sheet
• 100 grams Dark chocolate
• 20 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Flour

Directions

Step 1

Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheet at room temperature for 30 minutes, or follow package instructions for thawing.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust with flour.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of milk to make an egg wash. Set aside.

Step 5

Lightly dust your work surface with flour and gently unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Roll it out slightly to smooth out creases, keeping a rectangle shape.

Step 6

Cut the puff pastry sheet into six equal squares using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.

Step 7

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate mixture into the center of each square.

Step 8

Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner over the filling to meet the opposite corner. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the triangles with the egg wash to ensure a golden, flaky crust.

Step 10

Place the filled puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and flaky.

Step 12

Remove the puffs from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 13

Serve the Lava Puffs warm for a delightful experience of gooey, molten chocolate filling!
