We have elaborated in 'Cooking recipes' different types of palmeritas: with sugar coating, shredded coconut… However, oddly enough, we have yet to publish another classic. Which one? Chocolate palmeritas dark chocolate! Sounds good right?
The base is made in the same way as in the previous ones, from a puff pastry sheet. Its preparation does not present any difficulty and in little more than half an hour we achieved a wonderful sweet snack to present with the coffee in the afternoon snack. If you haven't tried doing them at home yet, what are you waiting for?
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 150 g. of sugar
- 250 ml. milk
- 250 g. dark chocolate
- 25 g. of butter
- We preheat the oven to 190 ºC.
- We sprinkle the dough puff pastry and the work surface with half the sugar and press the dough so that the sugar sticks to it.
- We roll longitudinally both sides of the dough inward, to the center of the rectangle. Fold the dough in the center, leaving one "roll" on top of the other and with the palm of the hand flatten the dough slightly.
- We cut the dough in slices of 1 centimeter, to obtain the palm trees. Once we have all cut, we coat the palm trees in the remaining sugar.
- We place the palm trees on a baking tray and the bake 10-15 minutes, at medium height, until puffed and lightly browned.
- We take the palm trees out of the oven and we let them cool on a rack.
- We prepare the chocolate cover. To do this, we put the milk to heat in a saucepan. When it boils, we add the chocolate cut into pieces and stir without stopping so that it does not stick to us. We add the butter and continue stirring. When the chocolate thickens, remove it from the heat.
- We bathe the palm trees in the chocolate and let it cool.
