Recipe

Preparation Time: 55 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 30 mins


• preheat oven to 400 degrees f (200 degrees c).
• unfold both sheets of puff pastry and lay a lightly floured work surface. cut each sheet into 3 strips along the fold marks, then cut each strip into 4 squares to make 12 pastry squares per sheet. place squares a baking sheet.
• bake in the preheated oven until the puff pastry is golden brown, about 15 minutes. let squares cool completely.
• whisk pudding mix and milk in a bowl until thick and smooth, about 1 minute; let stand about 3 minutes to finish thickening. gently fold whipped topping into pudding. transfer chocolate mousse mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a medium tip.
• use a finger or a butter knife to gently open a corner of a pastry square. make a small pocket in the pastry with the knife. pipe about 1 tablespoon of chocolate mousse into the opening; a small amount of mousse will appear at the opening site when the pastry pocket is full. repeat with remaining pastry squares and mousse mixture. dust pastries lightly with confectioners' sugar.
