- 13 oz sheet ready-made puff pastry, thawed
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar + extra, sifted for garnish
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons water
- Fresh strawberries, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. Prepare a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper and very lightly flour the surface.
- In a large bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and cream cheese until smooth and light.
- Lay puff pastry flat directly onto prepared baking sheet. Leaving about 1/2 inch bare on the top and bottom (to create flaps), spread cream cheese along the center third of the puff pastry. Top with the chocolate chips.
- Slice diagonally 3/4 of an inch apart down each of the outer thirds to create strips.
- Starting at the top, fold the first strip on the left over the cream cheese chocolate filling. Then fold the first strip on the right side over the top. Repeat, alternating on both sides until the filling is covered and all strips have been crossed.
- Fold the flaps on the top and the bottom of the pastry over strips to fully encase the filling.
- In a small bowl, beat together the egg yolk and water to make an egg wash. Lightly brush the pastry with the egg wash until coated.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until puffy pastry is risen and golden. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
- Top with powdered sugar and sliced strawberries.
