Today I'm going to teach you how to make this really nice chocolate pastry!
pastry, but if you wanted to you could make your own
Open it up and roll it out flat
For the filling it's nice and simple. We're just going to use a slab of dark chocolate
unwrap it...
And place it onto the puff pastry a few inches from the edge
and we want the same amount of it on each side so slice off the excess and place it to one side
Next we need to use our knife to put a series of cuts in our pastry at a slight angle
Going up along the side of the chocolate like this
And do the same on the other side
Then chop off the corners of the pastry like this
And fold over the top and the bottom
Next we need to fold over the top strip of pastry on to the chocolate
And overlap the one on the other side
Then work your way all the way up 🙃 like this
Tidy It Up if you need to and that's our lattice finished
Pretty cool huh?
Take an oven tray and lightly grease it with some butter, then carefully place onto your pastry
Next we need to take some egg yolk and brush a coating over the top of our lattice
This will help it look nice and gold when it's baked
When you're done, you can take some flaked almonds
And sprinkle them over the top!
I'm also crushing some up in my hand to sprinkle these over as well
And there we are it's ready to bake I put mine in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius
Which is about 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes
When it's nicely golden and baked all the way through take it out and leave it to cool for a minute or so
It looks and smells amazing
Once it cools down a touch I moved it onto a chopping board
And sliced it ready to serve
It's lovely and rich with nice warm chocolate
And it tastes amazing
It goes really well with a cup of coffee, and it really is easy to make
And if you don't eat it all at once you can warm it back up in the microwave for a minute. I
