Description
These easy Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Puff Pastry Rolls combine flaky pastry, juicy strawberries, and melty chocolate for a bakery-worthy brunch treat or quick dessert. Perfect for family gatherings, gifting, or when you need something a little extra special.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed if frozen (about 8–10 inches square each)
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced (about 200g)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (90g)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (25g), divided
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water or milk (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Hull and dice strawberries into small pieces. If using frozen, thaw and blot dry.
- In a medium bowl, gently toss together diced strawberries, chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon sugar, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt until just combined.
- Lightly flour your work surface. Unfold or unroll puff pastry sheets and gently roll to smooth out creases. Cut each sheet into 4 even rectangles (total of 8).
- Spoon a heaping tablespoon of strawberry-chocolate filling along one short edge of each pastry rectangle, leaving a small border.
- Carefully roll up each rectangle, starting with the filled edge, jelly-roll style. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Whisk egg with water or milk. Brush each roll with egg wash, then sprinkle tops with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Let rolls cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Drizzle with extra melted chocolate and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Work quickly with puff pastry to keep it cold for best results. Don’t overfill rolls to prevent leaks. For extra crispness, chill assembled rolls for 10 minutes before baking and bake on the lowest oven rack. Rolls can be assembled ahead and baked fresh in the morning. Variations include using different berries, dairy-free or gluten-free pastry, or adding nuts or lemon zest.
