Ingredients
  

Pastry Ingredients
  • 1 sheet sheet of puff pastry (thawed) Make sure it's Halal-friendly.
  • 100 g dark chocolate or chocolate chips Ensure they're Halal-certified.
  • 1 large egg For egg wash; can substitute with milk for a vegan option.
  • Flour For dusting.
  • Powdered sugar Optional, for dusting.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Dust your work surface lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Unfold the sheet of puff pastry and roll it gently with a rolling pin to smooth out any creases.
  3. Slice the pastry into triangles, about 4-5 inches wide at the base and 6 inches tall.
  4. Place a few dark chocolate chips or a piece of dark chocolate at the base of each triangle.
  5. Starting from the base of the triangle, roll the dough towards the tip to form a crescent shape.
  6. Place the rolled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Whisk the egg (or milk for a non-egg option) and brush the tops of the croissants.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the croissants are golden and flaky.
  2. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
  3. Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.

Notes

These croissants are best enjoyed fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator. For freezing, wrap each croissant in plastic wrap for up to a month. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
