Irish Cream Chocolate Pastries

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

   Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut into desired shapes using a cookie cutter or knife.

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up. Remove from the oven and let them cool.

   While the pastries are baking, prepare the chocolate filling. In a small saucepan, heat the Irish cream liqueur and heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the dark chocolate chips, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

   Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly, then transfer it to a piping bag.

   Once the pastries have cooled, pipe the chocolate filling onto the pastries or cut the pastries in half and fill them with the chocolate mixture.

   Dust the filled pastries with powdered sugar before serving.
