How to Store
Pain au Chocolat should be consumed on the same day, as the puff pastry can lose its crispness over time. Store leftovers on a closed board at room temperature.
Can You Freeze It?
It is not recommended to freeze the pain au Chocolat, as the puff pastry can deteriorate in flavor and texture upon thawing. If you are going to freeze, use fresh ingredients and bake only before freezing.
What to Serve With
Serves well with strong coffee or black tea, and can be accompanied by fresh red fruits for a contrast of flavors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use white chocolate?
Although it can be done, white chocolate may not give the same intense flavor as dark chocolate.
What do I do if the oven isn't ready?
Adjust the baking time to about 25 minutes, or until the breads are golden brown.
Can I make more than 4 servings?
Yes, just double the ingredients in proportion and adjust the baking time.
What to do if the chocolate melts?
If the chocolate melts, cover the breads with aluminum foil and return to the oven for a few minutes, until the chocolate solidifies again.
