Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6) and line two baking trays with parchment paper. Take your puff pastry out of the refrigerator about 10 minutes before working with it – it should be cool but pliable. Cold pastry maintains its layers better, while overly warm dough can become sticky and lose its characteristic flakiness.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Prepare the chocolate ganache by placing the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the double cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer (tiny bubbles appear around the edges), then pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute, then gently stir until completely smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly while preparing the rest of the ingredients.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>In a small bowl, mix the orange marmalade with half the orange zest, reserving the remainder for garnish. Give it a good stir to ensure the zest is evenly distributed, which will amplify the citrus flavor throughout your pastries.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Unroll your puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 12 equal squares (approximately 10-12cm each side). You can use a pizza cutter or sharp knife for clean edges. If your pastry has become too warm and sticky at any point, pop it back in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Place a teaspoon of the orange marmalade mixture in the center of each square, followed by a teaspoon of the chocolate ganache. Be careful not to overfill – about 1-1.5 teaspoons of each filling is perfect. Leave a border of at least 1cm around the edges to ensure proper sealing.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Brush the edges of each square lightly with beaten egg, which acts as a glue. Fold each square diagonally to form triangles, pressing the edges firmly with a fork to seal. The tines of the fork not only secure the filling but create a decorative crimped edge.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Transfer the pastries to your prepared baking trays, leaving about 4cm between each one. Puff pastry expands considerably during baking, so give them room to grow. Brush the tops generously with beaten egg wash, which will give them a beautiful golden color. Then sprinkle with granulated sugar for a sweet, crunchy finish.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit in the top of each pastry to allow steam to escape during baking. This prevents the filling from bursting out of the sides and helps maintain the pastry's shape.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 9</h4>Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them after the 15-minute mark as they can go from perfectly golden to overdone quite quickly due to the sugar content.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 10</h4>Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter for a beautiful shine and extra richness. Let them cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. The pastries are most delicious when served warm, when the chocolate is still slightly molten.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 11</h4>Just before serving, dust lightly with icing sugar if desired and sprinkle with the remaining orange zest for a pop of color and fresh citrus aroma. These pastries are best enjoyed the day they're made, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in a 160°C oven for 5 minutes to restore their crispness.</li></ol>

FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about this delicious recipe right here.

What ingredients are used in Chocolate Orange Pastries Recipe?

The key ingredients are ready-rolled puff pastry, dark chocolate (70% cocoa), double cream, orange marmalade, fresh orange zest, egg for washing, granulated sugar for sprinkling, melted butter, and optional icing sugar for dusting.

How to cook Chocolate Orange Pastries Recipe at home?

Learn how to cook Chocolate Orange Pastries by creating a simple chocolate ganache with dark chocolate and cream, mixing orange marmalade with zest, then filling puff pastry squares before folding into triangles. Seal edges with a fork, brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 18-20 minutes at 200°C until golden and flaky.

Can I make these pastries ahead of time for a brunch party?

Yes, you can prepare the triangles the night before and refrigerate them unbaked, covered with cling film. Alternatively, bake them the day before and reheat at 160°C for 5 minutes to restore crispness. For best results, apply the egg wash just before baking.

What's the secret to achieving truly flaky puff pastry desserts?

The key is keeping the pastry cold while working with it. If it becomes too warm or sticky, return it to the fridge for 10 minutes. Cut clean edges with a sharp knife, don't overfill, and ensure proper sealing. The small steam vent on top is also crucial for maintaining structure.

Which chocolate works best for orange-flavoured pastries?

Dark chocolate with 70% cocoa content creates the perfect balance with sweet-bitter orange marmalade. The slight bitterness complements the citrus without overwhelming it. Milk chocolate can be used for a sweeter result, while very dark chocolate (85%) creates a more sophisticated, intense flavour contrast.
