Chocolate Burritos
- Block of bittersweet chocolate, about 1 cup size
- 1 lemon
- 1/2 to 1 cup walnuts
- Granulated sugar
- 3 to 6 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
- Unsalted butter, melted for brushing
- Note: The amounts for the ingredients are up to the user.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- While oven is preheating, use a chef's knife to chip chocolate off the block, or crush pistoles into small pieces.
- This is a fun step that creates a lot of chocolate shavings that can be fun for guests to help clean up by eating.
- The irregular shapes are good too because they create depth of flavor in the final product due to varying masses of chocolate tucked away in the burrito's rolls.
- Zest the lemon and set aside.
- Mincing is not necessary.
- Crush the walnuts between your palms or gently break with a rolling pin in a towel.
- Set aside.
- Put granulated sugar in a bowl for sprinkling onto the burrito.
- Spread 1 phyllo sheet on a baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
- Top with another phyllo sheet and brush it with butter.
- Top with a last sheet, but don't butter it on top.
- I just use 3 sheets but if you like thicker burritos, sprinkle on sugar and add 3 more sheets after brushing on the butter.
- Sprinkle on chocolate, zest, and nuts, to taste.
- Be sure to allow room for rolling without bursting the roll.
- Sugar isn't really necessary inside the roll but a little can be nice.
- Roll up the dessert just like a burrito: tuck in sides toward the front then roll up.
- Also, a straight roll like sushi is fine.
- Sprinkle phyllo with sugar, put on a baking sheet (no greasing or parchment necessary), and bake for 5 to 8 minutes until just barely browned.
- Remove, wait 5 minutes, then cut into bite size pieces with a sharp knife.
- Serve immediately.
