Ingredients

Directions

  6. Transfer the squares to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream in a small bowl.
  8. Brush the egg wash along two adjacent edges of each square.
  9. Place a piece of chocolate and a pinch of chopped almonds in the center of each square.
  10. Fold the unwashed edges over the filling to form a triangle.
  11. Press the edges firmly to seal the turnovers.
  12. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes to chill.
