Description

Ingredients

• 1 pkg. (17.3 ounces) Puff Pastry Sheets & thaw according to package directions
• 1 pkg. (8 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (you can use chocolate chips for easier prep)
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp. water
• All-purpose flour for dusting/rolling the pastry sheets
• Confectioners’ sugar for garnish

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• While waiting for the pastry to thaw, place the chocolate into a medium bowl.
• Heat the heavy cream in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat to a boil. Pour the heavy cream over the chocolate in the bowl and let stand for 5 minutes. Using a whisk, stir until the mixture is smooth. Freeze for 15 minutes. Remove from freezer and stir the chocolate mixture. Let mixture cool and put in freezer for 30 minutes.
• Beat the egg yolk and water in a small bowl with a fork and set aside.
• Sprinkle the flour on the work surface. Unfold 1 pastry sheet on the work surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 16-inch square. Brush the pastry with the egg mixture to within ½ inch of the edge.
• If not using a ravioli mold drop the chocolate mixture by 24 teaspoonfuls onto the pastry sheet, making 4 rows, with 6 evenly-spaced spoonfuls in each row.
• Unfold the remaining pastry sheet on the work surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 16-inch square.
• Place the pastry sheet over the filling, pressing firmly between the rows and around the edges to seal.
• Brush the pastry with the egg mixture. Using a pastry wheel or a sharp knife, cut between the 4 rows to make 4 strips. Cut each strip into 6 rectangles.
• Place the pastries onto 2 baking sheets. Freeze for 15 minutes or until the pastries are firm.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
• Sprinkle with the confectioners’ sugar.
• In a small bowl heat 1 Tbls. milk and add ½ cup chocolate chips, stirring the chips until melted. Use as a dipping sauce and/or drizzle over the top of the chocolate pillows.
