Torsades Croustillantes au Chocolat

 

Ingredients:

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

3.5 oz (100 g) dark chocolate, finely chopped or

chocolate spread

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon milk

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet

with parchment paper.

Unroll the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface.

Spread the chocolate evenly over half of the pastry, or

sprinkle finely chopped chocolate across the surface.

Fold the pastry over to cover the chocolate layer and

gently press to seal.

Cut the pastry into long strips, about 1 inch wide.

Twist each strip several times to form a torsade shape

and place on the baking sheet.

Brush each twist with beaten egg mixed with milk, then

sprinkle lightly with sugar.

Bake for 15–18 minutes, until puffed, deeply golden, and

crispy.

Cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before

serving, if desired.
