Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams Dark chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons Nut-free almond flavoring
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 pinch Fine sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the dark chocolate chips, stirring continuously until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Stir in the nut-free almond flavoring to the melted chocolate mixture. Let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Dust your work surface with a little all-purpose flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases.

Step 5

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal-sized squares, giving you a total of 8 squares.

Step 6

Place a heaping tablespoon of the chocolate mixture in the center of each square.

Step 7

Fold each pastry square into a triangle by bringing one corner of the square to the opposite corner, enclosing the chocolate filling.

Step 8

Seal the edges by pressing them together with a fork to ensure the filling doesn’t leak during baking.

Step 9

In a small bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of salt. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the top of each pastry triangle with the egg wash.

Step 10

Sprinkle a little granulated sugar over each pastry for a touch of sweetness and crunch.

Step 11

Place the prepared pastries on the lined baking sheet.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your nut-free almond chocolate pastries with a cup of tea or coffee!
