These decadent chocolate-dipped strawberry puff pastry twists combine flaky, buttery layers with sweet, juicy strawberries and rich dark chocolate for an easy and impressive dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll each thawed puff pastry sheet to about 12×12 inches (30×30 cm).
  4. Cut each sheet into 12 strips about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide, for a total of 24 strips.
  5. Spoon a small line of the strawberry mixture down the center of each strip, leaving 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) edges clear.
  6. Twist each strip several times and pinch the ends to seal lightly.
  7. Brush each twist with beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
  8. Place twists on the prepared baking sheet with space between them and bake for 15-18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  9. While baking, melt the dark chocolate in 15-second bursts in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring frequently.
  10. After baking, let twists cool for about 5 minutes, then dip one end or drizzle with melted chocolate. Place on parchment paper to set.
  11. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar once the chocolate has hardened.

Notes

Do not overfill the pastry strips to avoid sogginess. Chill puff pastry properly before use. Twist strips carefully to avoid tearing. Melt chocolate slowly and stir often to prevent burning. Reheat leftovers in an oven or toaster oven to maintain flakiness; avoid microwaving.
