Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry

Filling

  • 1 cup dark (semisweet) chocolate chips (or your favorite chocolate)

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon powdered (icing) sugar

Instructions

  1. Thaw the Puff Pastry: Remove the frozen puff pastry sheets from the freezer and allow them to thaw according to the manufacturer’s instructions until pliable but still cold.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Line a baking sheet with non-stick parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  3. Cut the Pastry: Place one sheet of thawed puff pastry on a clean cutting board. Cut it into six rectangles, each approximately 3 inches by 5 inches (8 cm x 12.5 cm) in size.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Evenly scatter half of the dark chocolate chips over the surface of the cut pastry sheets, distributing the chocolate for a balanced filling.
  5. Roll the Pastry: Starting from the short end, carefully roll up each rectangle of pastry to encase the chocolate chips inside, forming a neat log shape.
  6. Repeat for Remaining Pastry and Chocolate: Repeat the cutting, adding chocolate chips, and rolling process with the second sheet of puff pastry and the remaining chocolate chips.
  7. Arrange for Baking: Place the rolled pastries onto the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down to prevent them from unrolling during baking.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the pastries are puffed, golden brown, and crispy.
  9. Cool: Remove the pastries from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing the chocolate to set slightly.
  10. Finish and Serve: Sift powdered sugar over the cooled pastries to add a sweet finishing touch, then serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure puff pastry sheets remain cold while working to maintain flakiness.
  • You can substitute dark chocolate chips with milk or white chocolate chips according to preference.
  • For an extra touch, brush the rolls with an egg wash before baking for a glossy finish.
  • Serve the pastries slightly warm for gooey melted chocolate.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
