Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

  2. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Cut the sheet into 6 equal rectangles.

  3. Place a piece of dark chocolate at one end of each pastry rectangle.

  4. Roll the pastry dough tightly around the chocolate, ensuring the seam side ends up on the bottom. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Lightly brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg.

  6. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

  7. Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. If desired, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

  8. Serve your Easy Pain Au Chocolat warm alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat.
