Chocolate Cream Filled Puff Pastries Recipe (Servings: 36 Serving Size: 1 pastry each)

A light and fluffy chocolate filling surrounded by an airy-textured puff pastry - a delicious dessert or snack with coffee and tea.

Chocolate Whipped Cream Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, broken up into small pieces.

Puff Pastry Ingredients:
- 2 cups water
- 2 sticks of butter
- 2 cups flour
- 8 eggs

To Make Chocolate Cream: In a medium sized bowl, beat the cream with an electric mixer or whisk until it begins to hold a loose peak.
* Sift the sugar into the cream.
* Continue beating until the cream holds a firm but soft peak.
* Set aside in refrigerator.
* Place the chocolate in a medium sized, microwaveable bowl.
* Melt the chocolate in microwave, at half power, using 30 second intervals until softened and warm. (The chocolate can also be melted in a double boiler if desired)
* Whisk until smooth.
* Fold approximately 1/2 cup of whipped cream into the warm chocolate to lighten it.
* Add lightened chocolate mixture back into the remaining whipped cream, folding until completely smooth.
* Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

To Make Puff Pastry: Preheat oven to 400ºF.
* Boil water and butter in a small sauce pan.
* Add flour and stir briskly over low flame until a ball forms.
* Remove mixture from heat and beat in eggs, with wooden spoon, one at a time in order to keep batter smooth. Continue to beat with wooden spoon until smooth.
* With a table spoon, drop dough onto ungreased pan 3-inches apart.
* Bake 40 to 45 minutes until lightly browned in order to open up the inner texture. Cooking for less time results in a sticky inner dough and more of a closed texture.
* Remove from oven, set aside to cool.
* When cool, cut pastries almost in half leaving approximately 1/4 inch attached to hold the pastry together.
* Fill the center with chocolate whipped cream as you would a sandwich.
* Can drizzle with extra melted chocolate if desired.

I think you mean mad, and no, I'm not... I'm confused as to why you put that here, which is why I asked what it is for...

It is 4 a grin and a smile
(u sound like u are made at me)

I didn't see any humor in it, but I'm not mad. I'm not made either. I was made at one point in my mother's womb, but I haven't been made since.

Anyway, hope everyone that saved the chocolate recipe loves it. I can't wait to make it this summer when my daughter gets here.
