CHOCOLATE TURNOVERS
I often make a half batch of these and half batch of the jam variation, serving guests one of each. You need nothing more than a handful of fresh raspberries to complete this dessert. These turnovers can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen. Simply pop them into the oven when it's close to dessert time. For the jam variation, follow the Chocolate Turnovers recipe, substituting 1 teaspoon of jam for each 1/4-ounce piece of chocolate in the turnovers.

Yield Makes 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 22
Steps:
- Make the white chocolate passion fruit turnovers:
- In a dry metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt the white chocolate. Remove from the heat and add the passion fruit pulp, heavy cream, and salt and stir to combine. Slowly and carefully add the egg yolks, stirring to combine. Place the bowl over the pan of barely simmering water and heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from the heat, cover, and chill.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Once the white chocolate filling is completely cold, make the turnovers: Arrange the puff pastry rounds on a work surface and fold each one in half. Fill the turnovers with the chilled white chocolate filling and crimp the edges to seal them closed. (Brush the edges of the pastry with water, if necessary, to seal the turnovers.) Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake, flipping them over about halfway through the baking time, until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Make the blueberry-mint sauce:
- In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, combine the blueberries, pineapple, water, lemon juice, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and continue simmering for about 3 minutes. Transfer to a blender or food processor, add the mint, and process until smooth. Pour the purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. If the sauce is very thin, place it in a medium saucepan and simmer until it's reduced to the desired consistency.
- Make the coconut cream:
- In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream and sugar and whip until medium-stiff peaks form. Fold in the coconut and cinnamon.
- To serve:
- Arrange 2 turnovers on each of 4 plates, drizzle with the blueberry-mint sauce, and top each with a generous dollop of coconut cream.

Tips:
- Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to create flaky layers in your chocolate turnovers.
- Work quickly: The dough should be worked as little as possible to prevent it from becoming tough.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help to prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
- Brush with egg wash: Brushing the turnovers with egg wash before baking will help them to brown nicely.
- Serve warm: Chocolate turnovers are best served warm when the chocolate is melted and gooey.
