Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cold water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water for egg wash

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter to the flour and mix using your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add cold water, mixing gently with a fork or hands, until the dough holds together without crumbling.

Step 3

Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness and cut into 4x4-inch squares.

Step 6

Place the squares onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush this over the pastry squares.

Step 8

Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

Step 9

To make the chocolate drizzle, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until warm. Do not boil.

Step 10

Remove from heat and add the sugar-free chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth.

Step 11

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 12

Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled pastries.

Step 13

Allow the chocolate to set before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free treat!
