Nutella Puff Pastry

Nutella Puff Pastry is a 4 ingredient dessert ready in just one hour! These bite sized chocolate hazelnut pastries are great to serve for Christmas with really easy prep in minutes.

I'm crazy about Nutella and so are my kids. We add it to about everything we can, so why not stuff it between puff pastry dough?

The Nutella is spread all over the dough, then rolled up and sliced into pinwheels. This dessert requires minimal ingredients, which is wonderful for the busy holidays, and everyone always devours them. They're great to add to Christmas cookie platters to add some variation.

Ingredients:

Puff Pastry: The base of the dessert and creates doughy, flaky layers. I like the Jus-rol brand in the refrigerator portion of the grocery store near the eggs. It's a great product and it's ready to go in the fridge. This way, I don't have to worry about forgetting to unfreeze before starting the recipe.

Nutella: A creamy chocolate hazelnut spread that is decadent. It spreads onto the puff pastry really well for the perfect amount of chocolate and pastry ratio.

Egg and Water: Creates a simple egg wash that helps seal up the dough and then brushes on top of the Nutella puff pastry to create a golden finish.

Powdered Sugar: Lightly coated after baking for a pretty topping and an extra hint of sweetness.

See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Substitutions and Variations:

• Any chocolate hazelnut spread should work just fine in this recipe, it doesn't necessarily have to be the Nutella brand.
• Frozen puff pastry can be substituted for the fresh refrigerated puff pastry, but it needs to be thawed, so it can be easily rolled up.
• The powdered sugar is optional, but I think it makes them look prettier at the end.

How to Make Nutella Puff Pastry:

Expert Tips:

• Make sure to leave about an inch of border on the longest portion of the top of the puff pastry free from Nutella to avoid a mess when rolling it up.
• Don't skip the freezing step for 30 minutes. It makes them so much easier to slice and doesn't cover the knife with gooey chocolate every slice.
• If a few of them look a little funny after baking, don't worry! The powdered sugar hides any flaws.
• The baking range will vary depending on how thick they are sliced. Try and keep them in similar range, about 1 inch thick, so they bake somewhat evenly.
