Sugar Free Chocolate Filled Croissants
Sugar Free Chocolate Filled Croissants, a simple four ingredient breakfast or brunch recipe made with puff pastry and no added sugar.
Servings: 6
Equipment
- Pastry Brush
Instructions
- About a half hour before making the croissants, remove the pastry dough from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature.
- Preheat your oven to 350. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
- Use a pastry brush or a rubber spatula to evenly spread the chocolate hazelnut spread over the pastry to about a half inch from the edges of the pastry.
- Take the side of the covered pastry that is closest to you, grabbing it by the corners, and fold the pastry in half so the the corners in your hands meet up with the corners on the opposite side.
- Next, use a pastry wheel or knife to slice the dough into three evenly sized rectangles by slicing the dough into thirds. Then slice each of the thirds into triangles by cutting the rectangles in half from the top right corner to the bottom left corner.
- Roll up each of the triangles, starting from the wide side, so that the pointed side wraps around the top of the croissant (see mine if you are confused).
- Place the croissants on your prepared baking sheet leaving space between one another.
- To make the egg wash, use a small whisk or a fork to combine together the egg and the water. Then use a clean pastry brush to brush this over the croissants.
- Bake your for 15-17 minutes or until the tops turn a golden brown. The pastry should appear to be 'puffy'. Let the croissants sit on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them.
