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 in a double boiler or microwave, then mix with the butter and liqueur until smooth.
4
If desired, add ground walnuts to the chocolate mixture for an even richer flavor.
5
Spoon a small amount of the chocolate-liqueur filling onto the wider end of each pastry triangle, then roll them up into a croissant shape.
6
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the seam is on the bottom to prevent them from unraveling during baking.
7
Whisk together the egg yolk and milk, then brush the tops of the croissants with the mixture 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 on a wire rack, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
