Chocolate Walnut Turnovers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle pastry with a little more flour, and roll out to form a 12-inch square. Brush away excess flour, and trim edges to make a perfect square.
• Cut puff pastry into nine 3-inch squares, and transfer them to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Discard excess.
• In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and heavy cream. Neatly brush a little of the egg wash along two adjacent edges of each square. Place a piece of chocolate just below the center of each square, and fold down unwashed edges to enclose chocolate and form a triangle. Using your fingers, gently but firmly press puff-pastry edges together to seal.
• Place baking sheet in freezer for 20 minutes, or until pastry is chilled. Remove from freezer, and brush tops liberally with remaining egg wash. Place in oven, and bake until triangles are puffed and golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface to make a 12-inch square. Using a chef's knife or pizza cutter, cut into four equal squares. Brush two edges of each square with egg wash.
• Stir the chocolate chips into the chocolate-hazelnut spread, then divide among the squares, landing it in the centers. Fold the pastry over to make triangles, and press the edges to seal. Brush the tops of turnovers with more egg wash.
• Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the pastry is golden brown and the chocolate has melted, about 15 minutes. Cool on a baking rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Place the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle the pastry with a little flour and roll out to form a 12inch square. Brush away any excess flour and trim the edges to make a perfect square.
• Cut the puff pastry into nine 3 1/2inch squares. Transfer them to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream. Neatly brush a little of the egg wash along 2 of the edges of each square. Place the chocolate, divided equally, and 1/4 teaspoon of the almonds on each square. Fold down the unwashed edges to enclose the chocolate, forming a triangle. Using your fingers, gently but firmly press the puff pastry edges together to seal them.
• Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is thoroughly chilled. Remove from the freezer and brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining egg wash.
• Place in the oven and bake until the turnovers are puffed and golden, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Adjust oven racks to the upper and lower middle positions and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Working with one sheet at a time on a lightly floured work surface, trim the puff pastry sheets to 9- by 9-inch squares, then cut each sheet into nine 3-inch squares.
• Working with one square of dough at a time, place a portion of chocolate onto the lower corner, brush two edges of the dough with beaten egg, and fold the dough in half diagonally to form a turnover. Place each turnover on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart (about 9 per sheet). Brush the dough tops with egg wash.
• Bake until golden brown, switching and rotating cookie sheets halfway through baking to ensure even browning, about 15 minutes. Cool the turnovers briefly. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt onto a piece of parchment or wax paper. Set aside. In a mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix until combined. On low speed gradually add the flour mixture and mix until incorporated. With a wooden spoon, mix in the walnuts. Add the melted chocolate and milk, and stir to combine well. Refrigerate dough until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch logs and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes more. Cut logs into 1-inch slices and roll in confectioners' sugar. Transfer to an ungreased cookie sheet and bake until golden around the edges, about 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
