All you need is 3 main ingredients to make this Chocolate Strawberry Braid for dessert tonight!

Ingredients

• 7-9 medium-sized strawberries
• 1 puff pastry
• 1 chocolate bar
• 1 egg yolk
• Almond slivers
• Powdered sugar

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Cut the strawberries into halves.
3. Dust some flour on a flat surface and spread your puff pastry out on top, smoothing it into a rectangle shape if necessary.
4. Place the bar of chocolate in the center, then top with a layer of strawberry halves.
5. Using a pizza cutter or a knife, slice the edges of the puff pastry into strips that can be wrapped over the chocolate and strawberries. Starting with the flap at the top, fold over each strip in a slightly diagonal direction so that they resemble a braid.
6. Brush the braid with a beaten egg yolk so that it covers the entire visible surface.
7. Sprinkle almond slivers on top.
8. Bake for 20-22 minutes.
9. Give the braid a few minutes to cool down, then cover with a dusting of powdered sugar.
10. Serve and enjoy!
