Ingredients
  

For the Pastry:

  • 1 package puff pastry thawed
  • 1/4 cup espresso cooled
  • 2 oz semisweet chocolate chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 egg beaten, for egg wash

For the Espresso Cream Filling:

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp espresso cooled

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and cooled espresso.
  • Roll out the pastry: Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into squares. Create a small indentation in each square.
  • Stuff the pastries: Fill the indentation with the espresso cream mixture and a small piece of chocolate.
  • Shape the pastries: Fold the pastry over the filling to form a pocket or seal the edges, depending on your design.
  • Egg wash: Brush the top of each pastry with the beaten egg for that golden finish.
  • Bake: Place the pastries on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden and puffed.
  • Cool and serve: Let the pastries cool slightly before enjoying your espresso-stuffed masterpiece.
