There really isn’t much better than pastry for breakfast, especially in the form of these Copycat Costa Coffee – Easy Chocolate Twists. These are just like the Costa coffee version, except much cheaper. I love the smell of fresh pastry baking, and these make a fabulous morning or mid-afternoon treat. They are flaky, chocolatey and delicious – perfect for all the family.

This is a mega simple recipe, perfect if you want to make Costa Chocolate Twists at home. You only need 3 ingredients, and some bake time. This means they are great to make on a Saturday morning and these will have your kitchen smelling incredible in mere minutes. You can make these vegan with some easy swaps (custard powder is already vegan!).

The chocolate twists are puff pastry filled with custard and I pack them full of chocolate chips. I use custard rather than pastry cream as they’re similar. However, custard is much easier to make! This is a great recipe for you to get the whole family to get involved in. But do expect a little mess if you ask for help from very little people!

Easy Chocolate Twists (Copycat Costa)

I bake these Copycat Costa Coffee – Easy Chocolate Twists on classic sheet pans (like these) and try to opt for silicone baking mats (these are the ones I use). For other great brunch/make ahead breakfast bakes, try these Copycat Costa Lemon Curd Muffins or these Raspberry and Coconut Babka Buns. For videos head over to my Instagram!

Ingredients

  • 325 g Puff Pastry (1 Block)
  • 70 g Instant Custard Powder
  • 75 g Milk Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Medium Free Range Egg Optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Line 2 large baking trays. 
  • Make a custard using 70g custard powder with 150ml boiling water – it'll be thick. Let chill in the fridge 10 mins.
  • Remove the pastry. If a sheet, roll out onto a floured surface. If it's a block, roll to about 2 cm thick – about 30x15cm.
  • With the short width facing towards you, spread the custard over the pastry. The custard should be fairly thick. Sprinkle over the chocolate chips.
  • Fold the pastry in half (from bottom to top – see Instagram for video) and cut into about 7 strips. 
  • Take each strip and, holding each end with one hand each, twist around once. Place on a baking tray – a few cm apart. If using, spread the egg wash over the top.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking to ensure they don't burn – they should be a deep golden brown.
  • Remove, let cool on a wire rack and I highly recommend eating whilst still warm!
