The Chocolate Hazelnut Galette is a decadent dessert that combines the richness of chocolate, the nutty warmth of hazelnuts, and the buttery flakiness of puff pastry. This elegant pastry features a luscious chocolate-hazelnut filling sandwiched between two layers of golden, crispy puff pastry, finished with a glossy egg yolk glaze and a hint of sugar syrup for a caramelized touch. Perfect for special occasions or indulgent moments, this galette is not only visually stunning with its decorative patterns but also irresistibly delicious with its melt-in-your-mouth texture and balanced sweetness. Whether served warm or at room temperature, it pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an unforgettable treat.

Directions

1. Step

Melt 120 grams chocolate and 80 grams butter in a bowl until smooth. Add 50 grams sugar, 2 eggs, 1 pinch of salt, 80 grams hazelnut powder, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the melted mixture. Mix well to combine.

2. Step

Divide the 500 grams puff pastry into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a round sheet using a rolling pin. Place one puff pastry round onto a flat baking tray. Spread the prepared chocolate mixture evenly over it, leaving a small border around the edges. Place the second puff pastry round on top of the filling and press the edges to seal. Brush the surface with a glaze made of 1 egg yolk and 2 tablespoons milk. Use a knife to create decorative patterns on the top layer (optional).

3. Step

Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. After baking, lightly brush the surface with a syrup made by mixing 20 grams sugar and 20 grams water. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.
