I wanted to create a filling that is easy to make, does not require a plethora of ingredients and is fast......but of course delicious. With Mother's Day upon us, many of us want to give something chocolate and fruity but the same fallback of strawberries dipped in chocolate is so yesterday! Think chocolate and raspberries snoozing in a puff pastry dough.
Let’s Begin……
- 35 grams of Nocciolata spread
- 7 grams of Almond Flour/Meal
- 20 grams of Frozen Red Raspberries
- 2 sheets of Puff Pastry (each sheet measures 5X5) and is in square shape
- 1 egg at room temperature (whisked and with a brush)
- Optional- Raw Hazelnuts
- Powder Sugar for dusting
Make your filling like in part #1 http://wp.me/p2B5Rd-SX
Cookies (yields about 12 to 14 cookies):
Take Puff Pastry out and allow it to come to temperature, but just enough to be manageable. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Get two sheets and begin spreading your filling like this-

Then brush with egg wash
Begin to roll dough over from each edge, towards the inside like this-
Again, more egg wash and fold again and again.....you will be creating a heart <3

I use the same parchment papers that come with the puff pastry to keep the roll sealed and then wrap in plastic wrap. Put roll in the freezer to stiffen up (15 to 20 minutes) so you can cut without destroying the cookie. Repeat with the other dough sheet the same process.

Once the dough is stiff enough to cut without destroying the shape, you can start making cookies.

Then take the Hazelnuts (optional) and chop roughly, placing one small piece in each center.

Then wash with egg and place in the oven for 15 to 18 minutes to bake at 400 degrees.
Take the cookies out and allow them to rest on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a rack. This helps dehydrate and also finish off the cooking in the dough, plus give it a crisp texture.

Dust with Powder Sugar.
Then you can eat them semi-warm or completely cooled. Enjoy!
