Austrian Chocolate Topfenstrudel - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry (about 200g)
1 egg
250 g curds (or ricotta)
60 g brown sugar
1 tablespoon flour (helps making the filling firmer)
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon, cest
1 dash salt
100 g chocolate (milk or dark, melted)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 200\u00b0C.
Mix sugars and egg until fluffly.
Add curds, lemon cest, flour and a dash of salt. Mix until fluffy.
Melt chocolate (i usually microwave it with a bit of milk for about 30 seconds, that works fine).
Place puff pastry on a non stick baking sheet.
Sprinkle a bit of water on the sides of the dough (this will make them stick together better).
Spread curds filling on 2/3rds of the pastry. Keep sides free.
Pour melted chocoalte over curd filling (I use a fork).
Fold in right and left side of pastry.
Roll to a Strudel from bottom to top.
Sprinkle STrudel with water and let bake for about 20 minutes at 180-200\u00b0C until browm and crispy.
You may want to sprinkle Strudel with confectioner's sugar.
Serve lukewarm (or cold) with vanilla sauce, berries, ice cream -- .
