Chocolate Almond Braid

I saw the video for this dessert and was so tempted to make it. It seems so easy and with just 4 ingredients, 3 which are so easily available anywhere in the market.

Since I decided to make this on the spur of the moment, I actually used Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Roll which I had handy in my fridge (rest all 3 ingredients were anyways readily there with me).


Ingredients :
  • Puff pastry
  • Chocolate bar
  • Egg - 1 (for egg wash)
  • Crushed nuts - handful (I am using almonds)

Method :
  • Put out the puff pastry on a clean flat surface like a cookie sheet. 
  • Put the chocolate bar in the center of the pastry sheet.
  • Use a sharp knife and cut diagonal lines on the pastry sheet, along both sides of the chocolate bar, keeping about an inch of distance between cuts.
  • Remove the corner pieces.
  • Starting from the top, fold down one flap after another, alternating between right and left until that last one is closed.
  • Take the bottom and top flap of the pastry sheet and fold them up, making sure you close the extras.
  • Lightly beat the egg and with a brush put a coating over the chocolate covered pastry sheet.
  • Sprinkle crushed nuts over.
  • Bake at 415°F for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
