Ingredients Needed
- 180g / ¾ cup hazelnut chocolate spread
- 1 package (270g / 9.5 oz) puff pastry cups, prepared as per package instructions
- 2 tbsp chopped toasted hazelnuts (filberts)
How To Make Puff Pastry Hazelnut Chocolate Cups
- Prepare the pastry cups: Bake the puff pastry cups according to the package directions and let them cool slightly.
- Fill with hazelnut spread: Spoon or pipe about 1½ teaspoons of hazelnut chocolate spread into each pastry cup.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle chopped toasted hazelnuts over the top.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later.
Recipe Tips
- Use pre-cut puff pastry cups for ease: Ready-made puff pastry cups save time and bake evenly. If using a sheet, cut circles and bake in a muffin tin.
- Let the pastry cool slightly before filling: If the cups are too hot, the hazelnut spread will melt too much and become runny.
- Toast the hazelnuts for better flavor: Lightly toast them in a dry pan or oven for a richer, nuttier taste. Let them cool before chopping.
- Pipe the hazelnut spread for a neat finish: Using a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner cut off makes filling the cups cleaner and easier.
- Serve fresh for the best texture: These are crispiest when enjoyed right after assembling. If storing, keep them in an airtight container and add the filling just before serving.
How To Store Leftovers?
Let the Puff Pastry Hazelnut Chocolate Cups cool to room temperature. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The pastry may soften slightly, so serve them fresh for the best texture.
