Craving a quick, indulgent snack? As a home baking enthusiast with years of testing simple recipes, I recommend these chocolate-filled turnovers made with puff pastry and a healthier spread alternative to Nutella.
This foolproof recipe is budget-friendly, crowd-pleasing for kids and adults alike, and ideal for impromptu gatherings when friends drop by.
Best of all, they're ready in just 5 minutes of prep! Here's how:
Preparation time: 5 min - Cooking time: 20 mins
- 1 puff pastry
- 1 jar of spread
- 1 egg
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Unroll the puff pastry.
3. Cut squares from the dough with a knife.
4. Place a teaspoon of spread in the center of each square.
5. Fold each square into a triangle.
6. Press the edges with a fork to seal.
7. Separate the egg white from the yolk.
8. Lightly beat the egg yolk.
9. Brush the triangles with the yolk.
10. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
Your golden, chocolate-filled turnovers are ready! Let them cool slightly before enjoying—the flaky pastry and gooey filling are irresistible.
Expect requests for seconds; they're that good. For homemade spread, try our linked recipe.
Don't waste dough scraps: roll them into a ball, flatten with a rolling pin, and make extra turnovers or savory puff pastries for aperitif.
