Ingredients

  • 100g plain chocolate, broken into pieces
  • 1 Aqua & Farina pasta sfoglia
  • 25g butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  2. Unroll the pastry and place on a board. Generously brush with some of the melted butter. Leave to stand for 10 minutes, then spread the cooled chocolate all over the buttered pastry.
  3. Mix the caster sugar and cinnamon together and scatter over the chocolate then brush all over with more of the melted butter.
  4. Roll up the pastry, Swiss roll-style, from one long side, then brush all over with more of the melted butter.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  7. Using a serrated knife, slice the pastry roll into 12 even sized rounds.
  8. Place the rounds cut-side up in the prepared tin.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until risen and golden brown. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or cold.
