These Puff Pastry Sweet Chocolate Ravioli are perfect for when you need a decadent treat quickly and without much fuss. They include only four ingredients and are easy to assemble as long as you have thawed puff pastry. These chocolate ravioli are assembled like ravioli, but instead of pasta dough, they use pre-made puff pastry. The hazelnut cream filling softens in the oven and creates the most luxurious filling. These puff pastry sweet chocolate ravioli make lovely desserts with a dusting of powdered sugar.
To make the chocolate ravioli, you simply cut a sheet of puff pastry into squares, dollop hazelnut cream on top, and fold them as you would ravioli. Then, they get brushed with an egg wash before being baked until golden brown in the oven.
Puff pastry is a flaky pastry that originated in France, but today, it can be found in the freezer section in most grocery stores. It is a laminated pastry meaning that the dough has been folded with butter, which makes it extremely flaky. Then, when the puff pastry dough bakes, the steam from the butter helps the pastry puff up and form holes.
Puff pastry is excellent in both sweet and savory concoctions. This chocolate ravioli recipe is quite similar to puff pastry chocolate twists or puff pastry chocolate rolls which use the same ingredients, but are simply assembled differently.
These puff pastry chocolate ravioli can simply be served on a platter dusted with icing sugar. However, if you would like to make them extra decadent, you could serve them with bowls of chocolate sauce and caramel sauce for dipping.
These ravioli are easy to seal by pinching the points of the dough together. However, if you find that they aren’t sticking, you could brush the ends with some water or egg wash to help them stick.
Yes, you definitely could! Any type of jam would work well in these puff pastry ravioli, such as apricot jam, strawberry jam, blueberry jam, or raspberry jam. Alternatively, you could fill the pastry with chopped chocolate or chocolate chips if you would like something chocolatey but don’t have hazelnut cream on hand.
These ravioli only require around 15 minutes to bake, however, all ovens can bake a little differently. You will be able to tell that your chocolate ravioli are baked through when the pastry has puffed and become golden on top. The bottoms should also be light golden.
These puff pastry ravioli can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge, where they should keep for up to 3 days. However, you will want to bake them again in the oven to re-crisp them and ensure that the filling becomes nice and gooey again. You can also store them in a sealable bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
