Method
- Gather and prep all ingredients (except for the puff pastry, keep that cold in the fridge until ready to roll).
- On lightly floured work surface, place one sheet of cold puff pastry in front of you, and gently roll it out slightly to even it out.
- Cut the sheet of puff pastry vertically into 4 equal strips.
- Add about 2 heaping teaspoons of chocolate chips or chocolate chunks about 1 inch from the bottom of one of the strips and fold the bottom of the pastry over the chocolate.
- Add another 2 teaspoons of chocolate above that and wrap the pastry over that again, rolling upwards to create a croissant shape.
- Brush a touch of the egg wash at the top edge of the pastry strip and roll it over to seal the croissant.
- Place onto a sheet tray and repeat with the remaining 3 pastry strips.
- Repeat steps 2 to 7 with the second puff pastry sheet to create a total of 8 croissants.
- Gently brush each chocolate croissant with egg wash and place into the fridge to chill for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Bake the chocolate croissants for 26 to 27 minutes or until golden-brown.
- Allow to cool for about 20 to 30 minutes, then dust lightly with powdered sugar.
