100 calorie chocolate croissants:

Exactly one year ago today, I was indulging in my first ever pan au chocolat (chocolate croissant) in the home of pastry, Paris.

Oh how I miss eating chocolate-filled pastry for breakfast and enjoying dessert after lunch as well.

My waist line is probably better off because it’s socially unacceptable to eat like that but then again, they say French women don’t get fat so maybe chocolate for breakfast is their secret.

This recipe is sure to indulge your chocolate cravings but won’t do too much damage given there aren’t even 100 calories in each little croissant.

I was inspired my Nigella to make this recipe and lightened it up by using low-fat puff pastry.

Lay out a sheet of low-fat puff pastry and cut it into 4 equal squares.

Cut each square into two triangles.

Place a square of chocolate in the middle of the long side just in from the edge.

I think next time I would cut the chocolate squares lengthwise and place the two slices next to each other along the long side.

Starting from the long edge, roll the pastry over the chocolate to enclose it.

Turn the ends in to make a crescent shape, place the croissants on a baking paper lined tray and brush each one with a little beaten egg.

Bake the chocolate croissants for approximately 20 minutes at 200C fan-forced.

Make sure you check on them.

Take them out when they turn golden.

Serve them fresh from the oven. Enjoy!
