Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, rectangular
120 g dark chocolate or chocolate spread
20 g melted butter
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon milk
Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry on a clean work surface.
If using dark chocolate, melt it gently with the butter until smooth. If using chocolate spread, soften it slightly for easier spreading.
Spread the chocolate evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the sugar over the chocolate layer.
Roll the pastry tightly into a log. For cleaner slices, chill the roll in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
Slice the log into 8 even pieces and place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each roll.
In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk with the milk, then brush over each roll.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
Notes
Chill the rolled pastry before slicing to help the rolls keep their shape.
Do not overfill with chocolate, or the filling may leak during baking.
For extra crunch, add chopped hazelnuts or almonds before rolling.
You can flavor the chocolate with a little cinnamon, vanilla, or instant coffee.
Reheat in the oven rather than the microwave to keep the pastry crisp.
