CHOCOLATE TURNOVERS



Chocolate Turnovers image

I often make a half batch of these and half batch of the jam variation, serving guests one of each. You need nothing more than a handful of fresh raspberries to complete this dessert. These turnovers can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen. Simply pop them into the oven when it's close to dessert time. For the jam variation, follow the Chocolate Turnovers recipe, substituting 1 teaspoon of jam for each 1/4-ounce piece of chocolate in the turnovers.

Time 30m

Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (17 1/4-ounce) package puff pastry sheets
4 1/2 ounces semi- or bittersweet chocolate, broken into 1/4-ounce pieces
1 egg, beaten
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Adjust oven racks to the upper and lower middle positions and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Working with one sheet at a time on a lightly floured work surface, trim the puff pastry sheets to 9- by 9-inch squares, then cut each sheet into nine 3-inch squares.
  • Working with one square of dough at a time, place a portion of chocolate onto the lower corner, brush two edges of the dough with beaten egg, and fold the dough in half diagonally to form a turnover. Place each turnover on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart (about 9 per sheet). Brush the dough tops with egg wash.
  • Bake until golden brown, switching and rotating cookie sheets halfway through baking to ensure even browning, about 15 minutes. Cool the turnovers briefly. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and serve immediately.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Yield Makes 9

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (9 1/2-inch-square) puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 1/4 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut into 9 pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle pastry with a little more flour, and roll out to form a 12-inch square. Brush away excess flour, and trim edges to make a perfect square.
  • Cut puff pastry into nine 3-inch squares, and transfer them to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Discard excess.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and heavy cream. Neatly brush a little of the egg wash along two adjacent edges of each square. Place a piece of chocolate just below the center of each square, and fold down unwashed edges to enclose chocolate and form a triangle. Using your fingers, gently but firmly press puff-pastry edges together to seal.
  • Place baking sheet in freezer for 20 minutes, or until pastry is chilled. Remove from freezer, and brush tops liberally with remaining egg wash. Place in oven, and bake until triangles are puffed and golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve perfect turnovers, ensure that the dough is chilled well before rolling and assembling.
  • Roll the dough thinly and evenly to prevent thick, dense pastries.
  • Use a sharp knife or pastry wheel to create clean cuts, preventing ragged edges.
  • Seal the turnovers tightly by pressing the edges with a fork or crimping them with your fingers.
  • Bake the turnovers until they are golden brown and the filling is bubbling for a crispy exterior and gooey center.
  • Allow the turnovers to cool slightly before serving to prevent the filling from oozing out.
  • For a more decadent treat, brush the turnovers with melted butter and sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar before baking.
  • To add a citrusy twist, zest an orange into the filling for a refreshing flavor.
  • For a vegan option, substitute the butter with plant-based butter or coconut oil and use a dairy-free milk.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour and ensure that all other ingredients are gluten-free as well.
