Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 of a 17.3 ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets(1 sheet), thawed
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry jam
  • 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork or whisk.

  2. Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry into a 14 x 10-inch rectangle. Spread the pastry evenly with the jam. Cut the pastry in half lengthwise. Sprinkle one rectangle with the chocolate. Place the remaining rectangle over the chocolate-topped rectangle, jam-side down. Roll the pastry gently with a rolling pin to seal.

  3. Cut the pastry crosswise into 28 (1/2-inch) strips. Twist each strip and place them 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets, pressing down the ends. Brush the twists with the egg mixture.

  4. Bake the pastry twists for 10 minutes or until they're golden brown. Serve the twists warm or at room temperature.

When cutting Puff Pastry, the sharper the knife or pastry cutter, the better. A dull edge can cement layers together and prevent pastry from rising.

Make sure the edges of your Puff Pastry are cut—a folded edge will not rise and puff.

Always flip and place the cut side of the Puff Pastry down on the baking sheet.

You can use a fluted ravioli cutter or cookie cutters to create decorative edges or shapes. To create circles, use a plate, bowl or water glass and trace with a knife.

Once Puff Pastry is thawed, work quickly while it’s still cold. You can cut it into desired shapes, then store in the fridge until you’re ready for the next step.
