Description

A yummy pastry filled with chocolate mousse and drizzled with chocolate on top, fruit on the side or you can put raspberries mixed inside. Hubby likes all chocolate, so ours are fruit on the side.

Ingredients

  • 1 package Puff Pastry Sheets
  • 1-½ cup Semisweet Chocolate Squares Chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Real Butter
  • ½ cups Water, Divided
  • 3 whole Egg Yolks
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 cup Whipping Cream, Whipped
  • ½ cups Chocolate Chips, For Topping

Preparation

First take 1 sheet of the pastry (I used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets), unfold and cut into 3 at the lines, then cut each into 4 pieces. Bake on a lightly oiled cookie sheet for 15 minutes on 400 degrees.

Mix chocolate, butter and 1/4 cup of water and melt in microwave or double boiler, about 5 minutes.

In a small pot, whip 3 egg yolks, sugar and remaining 1/4 cup of water. Heat to 160 degrees, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool in ice water or freezer.

Whip whipping cream and fold into cooled chocolate mixture.

Cut pastry pieces in half and fill with mousse mixture. Melt the chocolate chips for topping, and drizzle on top of the pastries. Sprinkle powdered sugar. Add fruit on the side, and enjoy!

Thanks for a delicious and easy recipe!! I had a mother’s day tea at church, and baked these yummy pastries, and received so many compliments! My husband ate a few of them before I brought them away, and when I came home, the first thing he asked was, “do you have any more of those chocolate things?” We are huge semi-sweet fans, and the pairing of raspberries with these pastries is absolutely perfect!! I will make these many more times!
