Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the 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 in a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir in the butter and coffee liqueur until smooth.
4
If desired, add ground nuts to the chocolate mixture for a richer flavor.
5
Spoon a little chocolate-coffee liqueur filling onto the wider end of each pastry triangle, then roll them up into croissant shapes.
6
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down to prevent them from opening during baking.
7
Whisk together the egg yolk and milk, then brush the mixture over the top of the croissants to give them a beautiful golden-brown color.
8
Bake the croissants for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
9
Let them cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
