What is the name for a round flaky pastry that has a chocolate cream filling in the middle I'm trying to make a dessert I had in Palermo, Sicily. I wanted to find a recipe for it online, but I can't remember the name of it now. I know it's fairly common, but googling didn't help. It's basically just a large round flaky pastry with a large opening in the center and filled with a chocolate cream. The cream is not hidden by the pastry, but it is in the open. It's similar to a danish.

Unless I am terribly mistaken, this question is about this thing, only with a chocolate creme instead of vanilla pudding in the middle: 



And no, I don't know an English name for that thing more special than "Danish", else I would have answered already.
That sounds a lot like a Czech Kolache, except that usually has fruit in the middle rather than chocolate.  I suspect a lot of European regions have something similar.  Some bakeries have made variations with different fillings
