Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits
- 1 cup (280 grams) Nutella
- 1/2 cup (113 grams / 1 stick) unsalted butter
Coating and Finishing:
- 1/4 cup (31 grams) confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- Carefully separate each refrigerated biscuit into two delicate layers by gently peeling them horizontally, creating 16 thin dough rounds.
- Using fingertips or a rolling tool, transform each dough round into a smooth 4-inch circle, ensuring uniform thickness without tears or fragile spots.
- Strategically place a dollop of Nutella at the center of each biscuit circle, maintaining careful distance from edges to prevent leakage during cooking.
- Skillfully gather and fold biscuit edges over the Nutella, pressing and pinching to create a secure, seamless spherical package with consistent wall thickness.
- Generously coat each Nutella sphere with melted butter, ensuring complete coverage to promote appetizing golden-brown coloration.
- Liberally spray air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent potential adhesion.
- Arrange Nutella bombs in air fryer basket with sufficient spacing, cooking at 330F for 7-8 minutes until achieving a rich, golden exterior.
- After removing from air fryer, allow bombs to rest 3-5 minutes, recognizing the internal Nutella will remain intensely hot.
- Delicately dust warm bombs with confectioners’ sugar using a fine mesh sieve, presenting a pristine, sweet finishing touch. Serve immediately for maximum gooey indulgence.
Notes
- Precision Matters Carefully separate biscuit layers to ensure even, thin dough that prevents tearing and uneven cooking.
- Avoid Overflow Control Nutella quantity by using a measured tablespoon and leaving enough space around edges to prevent leakage during air frying.
- Sealing Technique Press and pinch dough edges firmly, creating a complete seal to keep Nutella contained and prevent messy air fryer explosions.
- Temperature Adjustment For crispier exterior, increase air fryer temperature to 350F but reduce cooking time to 5-6 minutes to prevent burning.
- Dietary Modifications Swap regular biscuits with gluten-free alternatives and use dairy-free butter for a vegan-friendly version of these delectable treats.
