"I love any baked good, but especially buttery, laminated pastries. However, one thing I don't love as much is how much time they take to make. If you've ever made puff pastry, you know exactly what I'm talking about. When I was younger, I once made croissants from scratch with my grandpa, and all that time chilling, laminating, and folding the dough was enough for me to never do it again."
"While the TikTok video touts them as 2-ingredient croissants, technically you need three: puff pastry, dark chocolate, and egg. To make the croissants, first melt 4.6 ounces (or 1/2 cup) of chopped dark chocolate. I used a dark chocolate bar with hazelnuts, which added extra texture, and microwaved it in a bowl in 30-second increments. Next, unroll one of the puff pastry sheets (it should be thawed already!) and spread the melted dark chocolate on top, getting as close to the edge as possible."
"Then, cut the pastry all the way through both sheets into large triangles (as shown in the video). Roll the triangles up from the bigger end to the tip, then place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make a quick egg wash by beating one egg, and brush it onto each croissant. (This will make the baked croissant nice and shiny!) Bake in a 375°F oven for about 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy."
Three ingredients — puff pastry, dark chocolate, and egg — produce quick, laminated-style croissants. Melt about 4.6 ounces (1/2 cup) of chopped dark chocolate and spread it over one thawed puff pastry sheet. Place a second sheet on top and cut through both sheets into large triangles. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash for a glossy finish. Bake at 375°F for roughly 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Using a dark chocolate bar with hazelnuts adds texture and minimal cleanup speeds preparation.
