Why Make These Nutella Puff Pastries

These pastries are nearly foolproof and come together quickly. With minimal effort you’ll have an impressive, bakery-style treat to enjoy with coffee or to serve after dinner. They’re versatile, easy to adapt, and reliably delicious.

Ingredients Needed

• Prepared puff pastry: Found in the frozen section at most grocery stores. Thaw according to package directions (overnight in the fridge is best).
• Nutella hazelnut spread: Or any similar chocolate-hazelnut spread.
• Eggs: For the egg wash to give the pastries a golden, glossy finish.
• Confectioners’ sugar: Optional, but recommended for a light dusting before serving.

Steps To Make Nutella Puff Pastries

• Step One. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Unwrap the thawed puff pastry sheets and place them on a clean counter or cutting board. Gently roll each sheet out a little to even their size and to get a couple extra pastries from the batch; avoid rolling them too thin.
• Step Two. Spread the hazelnut spread evenly across one pastry sheet, working all the way to the edges. Place the second sheet on top and align the corners so the layers match.
• Step Three. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut 1/2-inch-wide strips through both pastry layers to create even strips.
• Step Four. Twist each strip and lay them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Coil each twisted strip into a small swirl. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and brush the pastries generously with the egg wash. Bake 10–15 minutes, until golden brown and flaky.
• Step Five. Let the pastries cool for a few minutes, then dust with confectioners’ sugar if desired. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Equipment

• Baking sheet
• Pizza cutter or sharp knife

Ingredients

• 1 package prepared puff pastry
• ¾ cup Nutella or similar hazelnut spread
• 2 eggs
• 3 Tbsp confectioners’ sugar (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Unwrap the thawed puff pastry sheets and place them on a clean surface. Gently roll each sheet to even their size but don’t make them too thin.
• Spread the hazelnut spread evenly across one sheet, reaching all edges. Lay the second sheet on top and align corners.
• Cut the combined sheets into even 1/2-inch strips with a pizza cutter or knife.
• Twist each strip, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and coil into a small swirl. Whisk the eggs and brush the pastries with egg wash. Bake 10–15 minutes until golden and flaky.
• Cool briefly, dust with confectioners’ sugar if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

• Do not overcook the pastries. Overbaking can dry out the filling—watch them closely near the end of the bake time.
• Store at room temperature. Keep leftovers at room temperature for up to three days for the best texture.
• Any similar spread works. You can substitute Nutella with another chocolate-hazelnut or cookie butter spread of similar consistency.
