Chocolate Hazelnut Rugelach #SundaySupper

Chocolate Hazelnut Rugelach

Chocolate Hazelnut Rugelach is the perfect post for this week’s #SundaySupper Stuff, Roll and Wrap theme.

Many people think that it’s inappropriate to stuff, roll or wrap a dessert. Let me assure you that desserts fit into all three categories just perfectly.

Rugelach is a Yiddish word that means ‘little corners’ or ‘little twists.’ They kind of look like straight croissants. Rugelach is a traditional Jewish pastry that can be eaten at breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Chocolate Hazelnut Rugelach is not the way one usually sees rugelach sold or made. Actually, it is far from it. What can I say? Even though I love raspberry, apricot, peach and cinnamon/raisin rugelach, I wanted to dress it up a bit for today’s event.

The chocolate dough is not overly sweet and works beautifully with the hazelnut spread and mini chocolate chips that are rolled into the dough.

The first time I made Chocolate Hazelnut Rugelach I was a tad worried about how they were going to turn out. Not sure why, other than the fact that I was baking in totally new territory.

Fortunately for all of us, Chocolate Hazelnut Rugelach turned out to be so addicting that I had to get them out of the house PDQ! I ate three of them and could have gone back for more.

So, when you make your batch of Chocolate Hazelnut Rugelach, be prepared either to use a great deal of discipline or to share!

Prep time: 45 mins

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cold
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1½ cups hazelnut spread, divided
  • 9 tablespoons mini chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Place the flour, sugar, cocoa and salt into a food processor. Process to mix them together. Add the butter and cream cheese and pulse on/off until they are partially mixed in. Add the eggs and pulse on/off until the mixture resembles peas. It will be very moist.
  2. Divide the dough into thirds and flatten each piece into the shape of a disc. Wrap each disc in wax paper and refrigerate for at least 1½ hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  4. Roll out one disc of dough in between two sheets of parchment paper until the dough is about ⅛” thick. Spread ½ cup hazelnut spread over the dough leaving a ½” rim of dough exposed. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips over the hazelnut spread.
  5. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 12 pieces. First cut the dough into quarters and then cut the quarters into thirds.
  6. Roll up the dough starting on the outside and rolling to the middle. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet. If the dough is soft, place it into the freezer for 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
  7. Brush the top of each rugelach with egg and sprinkle with some sugar.
  8. Bake at 350° for 22-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over.
