    List of Ingredients


    • PASTRY:
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup butter
    • 2 T cold water
    • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate mini morsels
    • FILLING:
    • 1 cup water
    • 1/2 cup butter
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 3 large eggs
    • GLAZE:
    • 1 tsp instant coffee
    • 3 T warm water
    • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
    • 2 T butter, softened
    • DRIZZLE:
    • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate mini morsels
    • 1 tsp vegetable oil


    Instructions


    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. FOR PASTRY: Place 1 cup flour in large bowl; cut in 1/2 cup butter with pastry blender until crumbly. Stir in 2 T water with fork until moistened. Divide dough in half; shape into 2 balls. Pat each ball into 12" x 3" rectangle about 3" apart on ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle 1/4 cup morsels evenly over rectangles; press in slightly.
    3. FOR FILLING: Place 1 cup water and 1/2 cup butter in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in 1 cup flour and vanilla extract. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture forms a ball (about 1 minute). Remove from heat. Beat in eggs by hand, until smooth and glossy. Spread mixture to completely cover each rectangle.
    4. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until pastry is crisp and golden brown; cool completely on baking sheet on wire rack. (Topping rises during baking and shrinks during standing, forming a custard-like layer.)
    5. FOR GLAZE: Combine instant coffe and 3 T warm water in small bowl; stir until coffee is dissolved. Stir in sugar and 2 T butter until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over each pastry.
    6. FOR DRIZZLE: Microwave 1/4 cup morsels and vegetable oil in small, heavy-duty plastic bag on HIGH power for 30 seconds; knead. Microwave at 10 to 20 second intervals, kneading until smooth. Cut tiny corner from bag; squeeze to drizzle evenly over each pastry. Pull knife through drizzle 3 times to create design. Cut into 1" slices.
