Peanut Butter Puff Pastry Ring with Chocolate Drizzle

This peanut butter puff pastry ring topped with chocolate drizzle looks impressive but it’s surprisingly easy to make with just a few ingredients.

Doesn’t this peanut butter puff pastry look beautiful? It shockingly only requires 6 ingredients, and 3 of them are just for the chocolate drizzle on top.

The only ingredients you need to make a peanut butter puff pastry ring:

• Puff pastry
• Crunchy peanut butter
• Powdered sugar
• Unsalted butter
• Heavy cream
• Semisweet chocolate

Seriously that’s it. And it’s almost just as simple to assemble as well.

Once your spread the peanut butter-powdered sugar mixture over the puff pastry, you roll the dough up as if you were making cinnamon rolls. But instead of cutting the dough into spirals you it cut lengthwise, exposing all those layers your just rolled up in long lines. Then you use a simple twisting technique (similar to making chocolate babka) to braid the two strands together and shape the dough-rope into a circle, connecting the ends.

While the peanut butter puff pastry ring bakes you prepare the chocolate glaze to be drizzled over the warm pastry ring when it’s done.

Is it breakfast? It is dessert? You decide! I would learn towards the dessert category, but I also tend to prefer savory breakfasts so that’s my preference. I did recently read that if you are going to eat dessert you should eat it earlier rather that at the end of the day but who knows what truth that holds.

I say eat your treats whenever your want, just practice a little moderation ;-). That seems to be a good motto for most things in life.
