Instructions

1 ✓

For the filling, melt the chocolate with the butter. Stir in the Port wine and walnuts. Let it cool until it reaches a spreadable consistency.

Tip: Do not overheat the chocolate; just melt it gently.
2 ✓

Unroll the puff pastry and cut into triangles.

Tip: Work with cold dough!
3 ✓

Place a strip of filling on the wide end and roll it up.

Tip: Tuck the tip under the croissant so it doesn't unroll.
4 ✓

Brush with the egg yolk mixed with milk. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes.

Tip: Puff pastry needs high heat to create steam and separate the layers.
5 ✓

Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Tip: Best served warm.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use red wine instead of Port?
Regular red wine is too acidic and thin. If you don't have Port, use a sweet dessert wine or Cognac.
The filling leaked out.
You used too much or it was too runny. Let the ganache firm up slightly before filling.
