Naughty Melted Chocolate Puff Pastry

Not content with just having main for dinner last night, I made this quick & super easy chocolate puff pastry (hand down recipe from my sister-in-law). Seriously its so easy, you don't even need to memorize or write down the steps.


All you need is a good dark chocolate or milk chocolate (I used the 85% Lindt chocolate), ready made puff pastry that you can easily find from the frozen section at your local supermarket, one(1) egg to brush the top and vanilla ice-cream.

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
2. Place frozen pastry sheet on the kitchen bench and leave it thaw for 5-10 minutes.
3. Draw two(2) circles in one pastry sheet (they usually come in 25x25cm) using a small bowl or any other shape according to your preference, be creative!
4. Put three(3) pieces of dark chocolate on top of the sheet and cover them with the second sheet.
5. Pinch the side of the pastry all around to combine the top and bottom layer. This is to ensure that the melted chocolate does not leak through.
6. Combine the egg with one(1) tablespoon of water and whisk using fork. Brush the top of the pastry to give that golden finish look.
7. Bake at 180 degrees C for about 10-15 minutes.
8. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.

It is so dangerously easy to make and very addictive!
