Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade), thawed
- 1/3 cup Nutella or any hazelnut chocolate spread
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
- Fresh strawberries or raspberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Thaw the puff pastry sheet if frozen for 20-30 minutes at room temperature until pliable but cool. Lightly flour the work surface and roll out pastry to a 10 by 12 inch smooth rectangle if needed for even thickness.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, divide the puff pastry sheet into 6 equal rectangles or squares. Spoon about one tablespoon of Nutella onto the center of each piece, avoiding overfilling.
- Fold each pastry piece over the Nutella filling to form a triangle or rectangle. Press edges firmly with fingers or fork to seal, preventing Nutella from oozing out during air frying.
- Whisk together egg and milk in a bowl to make egg wash. Lightly brush the tops of each pastry with egg wash using a pastry brush for golden shine.
- Place parchment paper in air fryer basket to prevent sticking. Lay pastries flat without overcrowding; cook in batches if needed. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, checking halfway. Pastries are done when puffed and golden brown.
- Remove pastries carefully and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh strawberries or raspberries if desired.
