Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Lightly flour a surface and roll out the puff pastry. Cut it into equal-sized triangles.
3
Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Mix with the butter and cognac until smooth.
4
If desired, add ground walnuts to the chocolate mixture for a richer flavor.
5
Place a small spoonful of the chocolate-cognac filling on the wider end of each pastry triangle. Roll them up into croissant shapes.
6
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the seam is facing down to prevent them from opening during baking.
7
Whisk together the egg yolk and milk, then brush the mixture over the tops of the croissants for a beautiful golden-brown color.
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.
