Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 ounces / 226 grams) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) Nutella or homemade chocolate hazelnut spread
Garnishes:
- Chopped hazelnuts
- Powdered sugar
- Melted chocolate chips for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy release and cleanup.
- Carefully unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough on a clean surface, separating each triangle along the perforated lines.
- Generously spread Nutella across each dough triangle, maintaining a small border to prevent leakage during baking.
- Optionally enhance the rolls by sprinkling chopped hazelnuts over the Nutella layer for added texture and flavor.
- Roll each triangle from the wider end toward the pointed tip, gently curving the edges to create a traditional crescent shape.
- Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to allow room for expansion during cooking.
- Bake for 12 minutes until the pastry transforms into a rich golden brown color and appears fully cooked throughout.
- Once removed from the oven, consider drizzling melted chocolate chips and dusting with powdered sugar while the rolls remain warm.
- Serve immediately to experience the optimal combination of flaky pastry and molten Nutella interior.
Notes
- Leave a small border around the edges of the dough when spreading Nutella to stop it from oozing out during baking.
- Try different spreads like almond butter, peanut butter, or fruit preserves for variety in taste and texture.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or shredded coconut on top of Nutella for added crunch and flavor complexity.
- Prepare the rolled crescents in advance and refrigerate, then bake just before serving to save time and enjoy fresh, warm pastries.
