Ingredients

• 1 package store-bought puff pastry sheets
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon water
• 100 grams low-fat dark chocolate
• 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon sugar or sugar substitute
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth any creases, keeping them about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into 8 even rectangles or squares.

Step 4

Place the cut pastry pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water to create an egg wash.

Step 6

Lightly brush the tops of the pastry with the egg wash to facilitate a golden brown finish.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

While the pastry cools, create the chocolate glaze. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the low-fat dark chocolate with the low-fat milk, stirring continuously until smooth.

Step 9

Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the sugar or sugar substitute and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 10

Dip the tops of the cooled puff pastries into the melted chocolate glaze, ensuring an even coat. Allow any excess to drip off before placing back on the wire rack.

Step 11

Let the chocolate glaze set completely at room temperature before serving or refrigerate to speed up the process.

Step 12

Enjoy your low-fat chocolate-covered puff pastries as a delicious treat.
