Chocolate and Banana Puff Pastry Pinwheels
Description
This dessert features puff pastry rolled out and spread evenly with chocolate spread, topped with mashed banana. The layered pastry is rolled into a log, then sliced into 12 pinwheels arranged on a baking sheet. Each pinwheel is brushed with beaten egg to promote browning and a glossy surface as they bake at 190°C/375°F for approximately 20 minutes. The result is a crisp, flaky pastry with a soft, sweet banana and chocolate center. The recipe allows for substitutions, using raspberries instead of banana or adding a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar before baking to enhance flavor. Cooling the pinwheels is advised before serving due to the hot filling, though they are delicious when still warm.
Ingredients
- 375 g puff pastry
- 6 tablespoon Chocolate Spread
- 2 banana small; mashed
- 1 egg whisked
Instructions
- Preheat your over to 190°C/170°C(fan)/375°F/Gas 5.
- Roll 375 g Puff pastry out and spread 6 tablespoon Chocolate Spread over it. Add 2 Bananas on top.
- Gently roll up the pastry until you have a log. Slice the log into 12 pieces.
- Put on a lined baking sheet and brush each one with 1 Egg. Put into the oven for 20 minutes until browned.

Notes
- Nutritional values vary if you substitute homemade Nutella with store-bought or reduced sugar chocolate spreads.
- Raspberries can be used as an alternative filling to banana for a different flavor.
- Sprinkling cinnamon sugar on top before baking adds a complementary sweet spice note.
- Arrange slices with sufficient space on the baking tray as the pinwheels will expand while baking.
- Allow pinwheels to cool briefly after baking since the banana and chocolate filling can retain significant heat.
- Serving the pinwheels warm enhances their flavor and texture, though not necessary to wait until fully cooled.
