Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry and cut it into equal-sized triangles.
3
Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir in the butter and Amaretto liqueur until smooth.
4
Spoon a small amount of the chocolate-Amaretto mixture onto the wide end of each pastry triangle. Roll up the triangles into croissant shapes.
5
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the seam is facing down to prevent them from unfolding during baking.
6
Whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Brush the mixture over the tops of the croissants for a beautiful golden-brown finish.
7
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the tops of the croissants for added flavor and crunch.
8
Bake the croissants for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
9
Let them cool slightly on a wire rack, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
