I’ve made chocolate croissants from scratch before, but it takes so much time and patience—and honestly, I don’t have much of either these days. Surely I’m not the only one!

Especially during the holiday season, with concerts, plays, ballets, and sports events packed in, plus parties, shopping, and baking—I’m already exhausted just thinking about it all. Planning for our family of seven feels just as overwhelming!

That’s why cruising is a lifesaver for us—vacation planning becomes way easier. Inspired by the amazing pastries on my Princess Cruise excursions, I created this simple 2-Ingredient Pain Au Chocolat recipe.

The little International Cafe quickly became my favorite spot on the ship, thanks to its sweet chocolate, fruit, and Nutella-filled pastries. I got spoiled indulging in them every day! These 2-Ingredient Pain Au Chocolat satisfy those same chocolate and pastry cravings perfectly.

Ingredients
 

  • 24 Lindt LINDOR Chocolate Truffles any kind – we do 4 caramel, milk, dark, and fudge swirl
  • 2 puff pastry sheets

Instructions
 

  • Remove puff pastry from package and allow to defrost. Once soft to the touch, gently unfold the puff pastry.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Unwrap all of the chocolate truffles.
  • Cut puff pastry into 12 even squares, watch video for assistance.
  • Cut each square into two even triangles, watch video for assistance.
  • Take one piece of the square and wrap it around the chocolate. Making sure to pinch and seal all of the seams. Then gently roll in between your two hands, to make sure all of the seams are sealed.
  • Take the second piece of the square and wrap it around the dough covered truffle giving two layers of dough around the truffle. Making sure to pinch and seal all of the seams and then rolling in between your hands to make sure all of the dough is smooth and no seams show.
  • Place the truffle dough balls 12 to a baking sheet. 
    *Optional* Lightly spray rolls with cooking spray. I do this to give the dough a nice color.

  • Bake for 16-18 minutes. If you bake too long then the chocolate will start to leak out, I would lean toward 16 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Serve immediately. Make sure to eat one or two before you take them out to your friends and family.

Notes

If you don’t get the perfect seal they will leak but that’s okay they still taste amazing and not much of a mess if you use parchment paper to line your pan.
It takes a little practice to get the perfect seal around these little bites of heaven. I had to make a few dozen before I got it down and it was worth the work. My family didn’t complain either they loved eating all of the “ugly” ones.
