Equipment

  • 1 2" Heart-shaped cookie cutter

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Sheet Puff Pastry defrosted
  • ⅓ Cup Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (e.g. Nutella)
  • 1 Large Egg, lightly whipped For brushing on hearts to seal and prior to baking
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar To sprinkle over hearts prior to baking
  • ¼ Cup Chocolate Melted
  • 1 Tablespoon Confectioners' Sugar For sprinkling over hearts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°
  • Cut twelve 2" hearts from a sheet of defrosted puff pastry.
  • Fill the center of 6 of the hearts with the chocolate hazelnut spread. Brush the edges with the whipped egg.
  • Place an unfilled heart over the heart filled with the hazelnut spread. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
  • Lightly brush the top of each heart with the egg wash. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  • Using a knife, create a small slit in the top of each heart (this will allow steam to escape).
  • Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. Pastries will be golden brown and risen.
  • Allow pastries to cool. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and drizzle with melted chocolate.
