How to Make Chocolate Schnecke Pastry

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  3. Add evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Whisk constantly until smooth and thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let cool partially.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, gently unfold the thawed puff pastry.
  6. Once the coconut-pecan frosting is partially cooled (but still spreadable), evenly spread it over the puff pastry. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.
  7. Tightly roll the pastry into a log, starting from a long side.
  8. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  9. Arrange the schnecke slices on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the frosting is set.
  11. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy!
