Ingredients
Ingredients for this recipe as in the recipe card.
Frozen puff pastry – I use store bought puff pastry that comes in square sheets approx 10in x 10in (25cm x 25cm) Use whatever frozen puff pastry is available to you. Of course, the better the quality will produce tastier puffs.
Chocolate chips – My preference is dark (semisweet) chocolate chips. In this recipe, I just used baking chocolate chips. Alternatively you could use a bar of chocolate chopped into small chunks or any chocolate chips you enjoy. If you’ve got leftover chocolate chips, make some of these small batch Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Powdered sugar – Just a little dusting of powdered sugar completes these pastries. If you prefer, sprinkle with sanding sugar before baking instead.
Yes, it’s true, that’s it for the ingredients. I don’t ever bother with an egg wash because the fat in puff pastry means they brown well regardless. But if you prefer, you certainly could give the pastries a little wash of egg before baking.
Instructions
A four step process collage showing how to make this recipe.
Before beginning this Chocolate Puff Pastry recipe, preheat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC and line a baking sheet with non-stick (parchment) paper. Thaw the frozen puff pastry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Lay one sheet of thawed puff pastry on a cutting board and cut the square into 6 rectangles approximately 3 inches by 5 inches (8cm x 12.5 cm).
Evenly scatter half of the chocolate chips over the pastry. From the short end, roll up each rectangle capturing the chocolate chips inside. Repeat with remaining pastry and chocolate chips.
Arrange on a prepared baking sheet with the seam on the bottom.
Bake until golden brown. Cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar.
My top tip for making this Chocolate Puff Pastry recipe is to preheat the oven properly. Puff pastry needs a hot oven to rise and separate the layers.
If the oven isn’t hot enough, puff pastry ends up heavy and soggy. Soggy puff pastry is never pleasant.
