Delightfully flaky and sweet, these Chip Pastry Squares combine creamy ricotta cheese with rich chocolate chips atop buttery puff pastry, finished with a sprinkle of coarse sugar for a perfect crispy topping. Ready in under 30 minutes, they make an easy and elegant dessert or snack.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 9 squares

Ingredients

Pastry and Cheese

  • 1 Puff Pastry Sheet, thawed
  • 9 Tablespoons (135g) Ricotta cheese

Toppings

  • 9 Tablespoons (126g) Chocolate chips
  • 1 Tablespoon Coarse/turbinado/demerara sugar (or a pinch of sugar on each square)
  • 1 egg, whisked

Instructions

  1. Thaw the Puff Pastry: Remove your puff pastry from the freezer about 30 minutes before starting. Allow it to thaw completely to ensure easy handling. If short on time, follow the quick thaw instructions on the package for best results.
  2. Prepare the Oven and Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet on a clean surface. Using a pizza cutter or dough cutter, cut the pastry into 9 equal squares without needing to roll it out further. Place the squares evenly on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
  3. Add the Ricotta Cheese: Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of ricotta onto the center of each pastry square. Spread it gently into a small circle, leaving about 1-2 cm of space from the edges to prevent spillage during baking.
  4. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the exposed pastry edges with the whisked egg, being careful not to get any on the ricotta cheese. This egg wash will help give the pastry a beautiful golden color and aid in crisping.
  5. Top with Chocolate Chips and Sugar: Sprinkle around 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips evenly over the ricotta on each square. Then lightly sprinkle each square with coarse sugar, adding a lovely crunch and sweetness.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye on the squares as they bake until they turn a perfect golden brown and become flaky.

Notes

  • Ensure puff pastry is properly thawed for easy handling and even baking.
  • Use coarse sugar for the best crunchy topping; granulated sugar can be used but won’t provide the same texture.
  • For variation, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or chopped nuts along with the chocolate chips.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture; leftovers can be reheated briefly in the oven.
