What You’ll Need:

2 rolls of puff pastry

40 ml espresso coffee
2 teaspoons of instant coffee
50 grams of sugar
1 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
Egg yolk (for brushing)
Brown sugar (a few tablespoons)
Whipping cream (a few teaspoons for decoration)

Prepare the espresso and blend it with the instant coffee. Allow it to cool, then mix it into the mascarpone cheese. Combine with the sugar and cocoa powder to create a creamy filling.
Dust one sheet of puff pastry with brown sugar and cover it with the second sheet. Cut out 6 circles, about 6-8 cm in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet.
Brush each circle with egg yolk to ensure a golden finish upon baking.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
After baking, allow the pastries to cool, then use a knife to cut a circle in the top of each pastry.
Fill the sfogliatelle with the coffee cream, both inside and on top, using a piping bag for precision.
Garnish with dollops of whipped cream and a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.
