Description
Flaky, buttery croissant-style rolls filled with rich chocolate and topped with a glossy chocolate glaze — a decadent New York–inspired pastry perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
- 100g dark or milk chocolate bars (cut into thick strips)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 100g dark chocolate (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon butter (for shine)
- Powdered sugar or crushed hazelnuts for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6 even rectangles.
- Place a strip or two of chocolate near one edge of each rectangle and roll tightly into a log shape.
- Place seam-side down on the baking tray and brush with egg wash (egg mixed with milk).
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Meanwhile, heat heavy cream in a saucepan until just simmering, then pour over chopped dark chocolate and stir until smooth.
- Add butter and mix until glossy; let cool slightly to thicken.
- Once rolls are cooled slightly, dip the tops in the chocolate glaze or drizzle it over the rolls.
- Garnish with powdered sugar or crushed hazelnuts if desired, and chill for 10 minutes to set.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with coffee or milk.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and melting texture.
- For an extra decadent version, fill the inside with Nutella before baking.
- These rolls taste best fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
