Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (or puff pastry)
- 1/2 cup (150g) Nutella
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Dough Roll out the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface. If using crescent dough, pinch the seams together to form a solid sheet. Cut the dough into 8 equal squares.
- Step 2: Add the Nutella Filling Place 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each dough square. Be careful not to overfill, or the Nutella may leak out during cooking.
- Step 3: Seal the Dough Fold the edges of the dough over the Nutella and pinch them together to seal tightly. Roll each piece into a smooth ball shape, ensuring there are no open seams.
- Step 4: Apply the Egg Wash Brush the outside of each dough ball with beaten egg. This helps create a golden, crispy crust when cooked.
- Step 5: Air Fry the Nutella Bombs Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the Nutella balls in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
- Step 6: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar While the Nutella bombs are still warm, brush them lightly with melted butter and roll them in a cinnamon-sugar mixture for extra flavor.
- Step 7: Serve & Enjoy! Let them cool slightly before serving (the Nutella will be hot!). Enjoy warm for the ultimate Air Fryer Nutella Crescent Rolls experience.
Notes
- ✔ Seal the Dough Well – Prevents Nutella from leaking out during cooking.
- ✔ Don’t Overfill – Use just 1 teaspoon per piece for the perfect balance.
- ✔ Preheat the Air Fryer – Ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
