Chocolate Marzipan Samosas
The combination of chocolate and marzipan is a true classic in the world of sweet desserts - but filled into a samosa, it provides a completely new experience. This recipe combines the traditional Indian shape with the rich character of European sweets. As the samosas bake, the chocolate and marzipan slowly melt, becoming a silky filling inside. Golden brown, crispy pastry hides this surprise on the outside - every bite is a small celebration. It is a perfect choice for holidays, guest visits, or when you want a quickly prepared, yet special dessert. Tip: Try adding orange zest or a pinch of cinnamon to the filling to spice it up and make the flavor even more complex!

Preparation Steps
1
Cut the marzipan into small pieces and shape them into small discs or flat balls, making them easier to fit inside the pastry. Finely chop or grate the dark chocolate.
2
On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 2 mm thick. Then, cut it into 10x10 cm squares. Tip: If the pastry is too soft, put it back in the fridge for a few minutes.
3
Place a piece of marzipan and a small amount of dark chocolate in the center of each square. Don't overfill, or it will leak during baking. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the filling to sweeten it.
4
Fold the pastry squares in half, forming triangles. Press the edges firmly with a fork to prevent the filling from leaking out.
5
Whisk the egg and brush it over the top of the samosas. This will make them golden brown and shiny. Tip: If you don't use eggs, you can brush them with a little milk or plant-based milk.
6
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and place the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and crispy. Watch the last few minutes of baking, as the chocolate tends to burn easily.
7
After baking, let the samosas cool for at least 10 minutes so that the filling solidifies slightly. Serve warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar or plain – a heavenly experience!
