Malawach Chocolate Tahini Rugelach

Ingredients:
1 Malawach round
1/4-1/3 cup @achvafood chocolate halva spread
2-3 tbsp halva
2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
1 egg
1/2 tsp silan .

Directions:
Remove Malawach dough from freezer. As soon as it’s soft enough to roll out (not totally thawed), roll it out as thinly as you can into a large circle, on a piece of floured parchment (flour your rolling pin as well, Malawach is very very sticky). Spread a very thin layer of the chocolate halva spread onto the dough, gently, trying your best not to let it tear.
Sprinkle the halva and the chocolate chips along the edges of the circle of dough.
Cut the chocolate-covered dough into 12 pieces, like you would cut a pizza – do this slowly and carefully because it’s sticky.
Roll up each triangle to form a pastry.
Beat egg with silan and brush onto pastries.
Bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes.
If the instructions for rolling aren’t clear, the video is posted in my highlights.

3 Ingredient Hamentaschen

I’m not someone who has much patience to bake and especially not to make dough. I thought of this hack and decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised by how easy and delicious it turned out. 
DRUMROLL… I used frozen pie crusts! 
I just thawed the dough and rolled in out thinly on a floured parchment sheet and stuffed the dough as I would use any hamentaschen dough. 
5 filling ideas (you can use any filling you’d like)
1. Apple pie hamentaschen: just dollop in a bit of canned apple pie filling (just cut up the apples if they’re big pieces) – serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat
2. Blueberry pie hamentaschen: use a bit of canned blueberry pie filling. You can garnish with lemon zest 
3. Lotus butter – garnish with lotus cookie crumbs 
4. Drop in some halva and 3 dark chocolate chips (my favourite) 
5. Nutella 
Just dollop filling of choice into your circles, fold them up and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Brush with 1 beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar in the raw. 
Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes.

Roll out puff dough as thinly as you can on a piece of floured parchment. Spread about 1/2 a container of @lotusbiscoff butter as thinly as possible onto the puff dough. Roll it into a long log and gently pull it longer. Cut it in half and twist both logs together. Top with some crushed lotus cookies. Place in a greased loaf pan and bake at 375 for about 30 minutes (until the top is nicely browned). You can make this with Nutella (or the parve version too)
