Ingredients

Just 4 ingredients is all you need to make these chocolate crescent rolls!

  • Puff pastry/pie crust
  • Chocolate cream spread
  • Milk
  • Granulated sugar

How to Make Them

Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven until lightly browned and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.

Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Tips

  • The filling will be very hot straight out of the oven, so it's important to allow cooling for a bit.
  • Instead of chocolate spread, use a bar of whatever your favorite chocolate is you've got lying around. Even mini chocolate chips will do the trick.
  • Swap the chocolate filling altogether and use this recipe with a strawberry filling or lemon curd instead. Better yet, if you've got a special occasion coming up, make a variety of filling flavours, and be sure to include vanilla pastry cream!
  • Skip the store-bought pastry and make homemade puff pastry or pie crust instead.
  • Have leftover pie dough? Make this fresh fruit flan for an easy, yet show-stopping dessert.

FAQs
