Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 2 Puff pastry sheets

CHOCOLATE ALMOND CREAM

• ▢ 3 1/2 oz (100 g) dark chocolate chunks
• ▢ 7 tbsp (100 g) butter
• ▢ 3 1/2 oz (100 g) almond flour
• ▢ 1/3 cup (70 g) sugar
• ▢ 2 eggs (Beaten)

EGG WASH

• ▢ 2 egg yolks (1 for the First Layer | 1 for the Second Layer)

Instructions

 

CHOCOLATE ALMOND CREAM

• Place the dark chocolate chunks with the softened butter into the Mini Round Mold. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then stir until combined. Set aside.
• In your mixing bowl, whisk the almond flour together with the sugar. Make a well. Mix in the eggs, then add your cooled chocolate preparation. Mix until all is combined. Refrigerate for 30 minutes minimum.

ASSEMBLY

• Place your Medium bonMAT™ on the top of your Medium Perforated Baking Sheet.
• Roll the puff pastry directly onto your bonMAT™, into a large rectangle. Cut your circles using your pastry knife. Refrigerate.
  

  • Save
• Roll your second puff pastry onto the Roul'Pat® into a large rectangle. Cut your circles using your pastry knife. Refrigerate while taking your first pastry tray out.
• Gently spread your chocolate almond cream on the top of your first puff pastry leaving 1"/2cm on the sides. Now, it's time to add your Trinket (1, 2 or more). For this recipe I added none.
  

  • Save
• Brush the sides of your galettes with a bit of water.
• Take your second puff pastry tray out of the fridge and flip each circles on top. Press all around to seal it. Return to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  

  • Save
• VERY IMPORTANT: When it is time to take your Galette out of the refrigerator, flip it onto another Silpain® / perforated baking sheet. This will allow your King's galette to rise straight-up.
• Brush the egg yolk on the top of your King's galette. Let it set in the fridge for another 30 minutes, then brush a second layer to get a golden effect.

BAKE!

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
• Take your Galettes out of the refrigerator. With a sharp knife, design the top Pastry as you wish. And with a tooth pick make 5 to 10 holes around your King's Cake so it rises evenly.
  

  • Save
• Bake for 25 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your galettes from 22min)
  

  • Save
• Once your Mini King's Galette with Chocolate Almond Cream are out of the oven, let them completely cool down. Then, slide them onto your service plate. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
