Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the hazelnuts are fragrant and lightly golden.
- Allow the hazelnuts to cool, then chop them coarsely or pulse them a few times in a food processor.
- On a lightly floured surface, unfold and slightly roll out the puff pastry sheets.
- Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, giving you a total of 8 squares.
- Place a handful of chopped hazelnuts in the center of each puff pastry square, leaving about a 1/2-inch (1 cm) border around the edges.
- Sprinkle some chopped dark chocolate over the hazelnuts.
- Carefully fold the corners of each pastry square towards the center, overlapping the filling slightly but allowing some of the chocolate and nuts to remain exposed.
- Press the edges gently to secure the folds.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg.
- Brush a light coating of the beaten egg along the folded edges of the pastry to give them a golden shine when baked.
- Lightly sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of each danish to add a hint of sweetness and extra crunch.
- Arrange the prepared danishes on the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the chocolate is melted.
- Remove the danishes from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve your Chocolate Raspberry Danishes warm or at room temperature. Enjoy them as a delightful breakfast treat or a sweet dessert.
Tips:
- Thawing Puff Pastry: Make sure to thaw the puff pastry sheets in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight before using them to ensure they roll out smoothly.
- Even Chocolate Distribution: Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure it melts uniformly and distributes evenly throughout the danish.
- Egg Wash Technique: Brush the egg wash lightly over the pastry to give it a beautiful golden color and a shiny finish. Be careful not to get the egg wash on the sides of the pastry, as it can prevent it from rising properly.
- Nut Topping: Toast the hazelnuts lightly in a dry skillet before using them for a more intense flavor and extra crunch.
- Customization: Feel free to experiment with other fillings, like different types of chocolate or jams, to suit your personal taste or dietary preferences.
Congratulations, you've just created a delicious Chocolate Raspberry Danish!
