Ingredients for Delight Chocolate Croissants
Puff Pastry
The backbone of this recipe is the puff pastry. Store-bought puff pastry sheets save time and effort while delivering a light, airy, and buttery result. Ensure your pastry is thawed but still cold before working with it. This helps maintain the integrity of the layers and prevents the butter from melting prematurely.
Dark Chocolate Chips
Opt for high-quality dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate. The chocolate melts beautifully inside the pastry, creating a velvety center that contrasts perfectly with the flaky crust. Dark chocolate also balances the sweetness, making these croissants sophisticated and not overly sugary.
Egg
A single egg is whisked with water to create an egg wash. This simple mixture gives the croissants a golden, glossy finish, making them look bakery-fresh.
