Ingredients:
2 sheets of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
100g of high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
50g of milk chocolate (optional for a creamier texture)
1 tablespoon of heavy cream
1 egg (for egg wash)
A pinch of salt
Edible gold flakes (for garnish)
Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions:
Prepare the Pastry: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a clean, flat surface. Cut each sheet into four equal rectangles.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and milk chocolate (if using). Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and a pinch of salt for a silky finish.
Assemble the Croissants: Place a tablespoon of melted chocolate in the center of each pastry rectangle. Fold the sides in slightly, then roll the pastry from one end to the other to form a croissant shape.
