Chocolate buns
Delicious and super easy to make are these chocolate buns or chocolate croissant or whatever you want to call them!
Ingredients
- 2 cans croissant dough the small ones
- 1 jar chocolate paste
- 3 tbsp icing sugar
- 1 lime juice only
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180˚C (350˚F)
- Open the cans with dough and tear along the lines. Be careful though, you do not take them all apart but leave two of the diagonals stuck together making a rectangular shape. Each piece is made up of two regular croissants. Make sure you pinch the lines a bit so they are closed.
- Dust a smooth surface with a bit of flour and place your rectangular piece of dough on it. Using a rolling pin make it a bit thinner. Spread with chocolate or nutella if that is more your thing. Make a roll in the length. You will now have a long thing tube.
- Using a very sharp knife cut along the length of the roll and cut it in two. You will see all the chocolate layers. Twist this into a braid and roll the braid into round shape. Press the ends together and place on a baking tray. Repeat this for all 6 buns.
- Place into the preheated oven and bake until golden and cooked through in about 20 minutes.
- Make the icing by mixing the lime juice with the icing sugar. Drizzle this over the (cooled!) chocolate buns and serve right away.
