Chocolate Pastry Puffs

These pasty puffs taste so rich, yet light & fluffy. For a quick, easy treat that looks like you worked hard on it. This is a great desert to serve for breakfast with coffee, or after dinner dessert.

Ingredients:
1 -2 boxes of Pastry Sheets - I use Pepperidge Farms ready to use pastry sheets. You can find them in the freezer section at the store.
Nutella
1 Egg
Powdered sugar
Flour
Cooking spray for baking
Non-stick cupcake baking tin
Milk or Almond Milk

Preparation:
Remove pasty sheets from freezer. Allow to thaw at room temperature. When thawed, unroll the sheet, and cut into even size squares. Cut as many squares equal to the amount of cupcake holders in the tin. I use a large cupcake/muffin tin. Sprinkle a little flour over the pastry sheets if they get sticky. Roll them out thinner. You can use your fingers to press down the sheets, or use a rolling pin.
Spray the cupcake tin with the cooking spray. Preferably the baking kind. Not olive oil, or butter flavor.
Place the thinned out pastry sheet into the tin, leaving the edges open. Dab 1 teaspoon of Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate into the center of the pasty sheet. After each sheet is filled with Nutella. Fold the edges of the pastry sheet together, and pinch together to close the pastry sheet around the chocolate. After you finish, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the pastry shells with the well beaten egg mix. Cook for about 20-30 minutes. Ovens vary in cooking time. Watch for the pastry to lightly brown and it will be done. You can use a fork to lift the pastry puff, and you'll be able to see if they're fully cooked on the bottom. When lightly browned, remove & allow to cool at room temperature.
While cooling, in a mixing bowl add approximately 1 cup of powdered sugar. Slowly stir in a couple teaspoons of milk. Add more milk if you want a thinner glaze. Drizzle each pastry puff with the glaze. As much as you like. This desert is delicious in the morning with a cup of coffee, or after dinner.

Pastry sheets placed in the cupcake tin, topped with Nutella. Fold the edges together, and pinch closed. Ready to bake.

Pastry Puffs are topped with the glaze. They look like a biscuit, but taste like a light, flaky croissant. You can re-heat them in the microwave for 10 seconds. The chocolate is so delicious when it's warm.
