Ingredients
For 6 servings:
– 2 sheets of thick butter puff pastry (for better structure)
– 100 g of Pralinoise or alternatively 4 Suchard-type chocolates
– 2 tablespoons of Nutella (room temperature)
– 50 g of butter
– 2 tablespoons of semi-thick cream
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon of milk
– 50 ml of water
– 50 g of sugar
Preparation
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
1. Place the Pralinoise and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add a tablespoon of water. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute to melt the ingredients. Stir well to achieve a smooth mixture. Add Nutella and whisk until fully incorporated. Stir in the cream and set aside.
2. Unroll one sheet of puff pastry onto a baking sheet lined with its own parchment paper. Spread the Pralinoise-Nutella mixture over the pastry, starting from the center and leaving about a 2-inch margin at the edges. Using a pastry brush (or a piece of paper towel in a pinch), moisten the edges of the pastry with water.
3. Gently lay the second sheet of puff pastry over the first, pressing along the edges with your fingers to seal the two layers together.
4. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the milk and brush this mixture over the top of the galette using a pastry brush (or a paper towel if necessary). Do not discard the egg-milk mixture, but refrigerate the galette for 30 minutes.
To Finish
After 30 minutes, remove the galette from the refrigerator and brush again with the egg-milk mixture.
Preheat your oven to 465°F (240°C).
Use the tip of a knife to etch patterns such as zigzags, diagonals, or any design of your choice into the top of the galette.
Bake the galette in the oven for 10 minutes at 465°F, then reduce the temperature to 356°F (180°C) and continue baking for another 20 minutes.
