Description

These chocolate turnovers are the perfect quick fix for chocolate cravings. Using store-bought puff pastry, you can create a bakery-quality dessert in under an hour. The buttery, flaky crust encases a warm, melty center of semi-sweet chocolate and toasted almonds, offering a delightful contrast in textures. They are easy to assemble, making them ideal for last-minute guests or a cozy weekend treat. While simple, the addition of an egg wash ensures a beautiful golden shine, and a quick freeze before baking helps them hold their shape. Serve them warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent finish that feels special without the fuss.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Thaw the puff pastry according to package directions, then roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch square.
  3. Trim the edges to ensure a perfect square, then cut the pastry into nine 3 1/2-inch squares.
  4. Transfer the squares to the prepared baking sheet.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream to make an egg wash.
  6. Brush a thin layer of egg wash along two adjacent edges of each pastry square.
  7. Divide the chopped chocolate and almonds evenly among the squares, placing the filling in the center.
  8. Fold the unwashed edges over the filling to form triangles, pressing firmly to seal the edges.
  9. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes to chill the pastry thoroughly.
  10. Remove from the freezer and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash.
  11. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
