Puff Pastry with Homemade Custard and Chocolate Drizzle

3. Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle:

• Melt chocolate and cream together in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.

4. Assemble:

• Spoon or pipe the chilled custard onto the bottom half of each puff pastry.
• Place the top half on, then drizzle with the melted chocolate.
• Serve immediately or chill slightly before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Dust with powdered sugar for an extra elegant finish.
• Serve with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for added flair.
• Perfect with espresso, dessert wine, or a creamy latte.

Tips for Success

• Custard Consistency: Make sure it’s thick enough to hold its shape when piped or spooned.
• Don’t Overbake: Puff pastry can burn quickly once golden—watch it in the final minutes.
• Make Ahead: The custard and pastry can be made in advance and assembled just before serving.
