Description
Flaky, buttery croissants filled with rich melted chocolate a classic French pastry that’s both indulgent and surprisingly easy to make using puff pastry.
Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (or chocolate batons)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unfold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 4 rectangles.
3. Place a small handful of chocolate chips along one short edge of each rectangle.
4. Roll the pastry tightly over the chocolate and tuck the seam underneath.
5. Brush each croissant with egg wash for a golden finish.
6. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
7. Cool slightly before serving, then dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
For a more authentic taste, use high-quality chocolate batons.
You can prepare them the night before and bake fresh in the morning.
Try filling with Nutella or almond paste for a twist.
