Tips for Perfect Chocolate Custard Twists
To make sure your 3-ingredient supermarket bakery copycat twists turn out golden, flaky, and delicious every time, keep these tips in mind:
Don’t overfill: Too much custard can leak during baking.
Chill the pastry if needed: If the puff pastry feels soft or sticky, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes before cutting and twisting.
Use an egg wash: Brushing with egg (or milk) gives a beautiful glossy, golden finish.
Twist gently: Over-twisting can tear the pastry, under-twisting can make them too flat. You want 2 twists only!
Bake until golden: Every oven is different, so check at 18 minutes and bake a little longer if needed.
Serve fresh: These twists are best eaten on the day they’re baked, but you can reheat briefly in the oven for that fresh-bakery texture.
Freeze for later: Bake the twist, cool completely and wrap in cling film. pop them in a zip lock bag and freeze for later. Heat them back up in the oven until defrosted.
