Description
Double Pain Au Chocolat Croissants are a luxurious pastry featuring buttery, flaky croissant dough wrapped around two layers of rich dark chocolate. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet treat, they deliver double the chocolate indulgence in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet croissant dough (homemade or store-bought puff pastry/crescent dough)
- 16 pieces high-quality dark chocolate batons or chopped chocolate (2 per croissant)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Roll out the croissant dough into a large rectangle and cut into 8 equal strips, approximately 3×4 inches each.
- Place one row of chocolate near the short edge of a dough piece, fold dough over it, place a second row, and continue rolling tightly.
- Place the shaped croissants seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush each croissant with beaten egg for a glossy finish.
- Let the croissants proof at room temperature for about 1 hour if using homemade or frozen dough.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake croissants for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for gooey chocolate centers.
Notes
- Store-bought crescent dough can be used for a quick version—skip proofing.
- Freeze shaped croissants for future baking—bake straight from frozen with a few extra minutes.
- Add a thin layer of jam for extra flavor before rolling.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top for a sweet-savory twist.
- Mini versions work well for parties or dessert trays.
