    Ingredients

    These Nutella pinwheels use the following five ingredients:

    • Hazelnut spread (Nutella): you may use any quality hazelnut and chocolate spread.
    • Hazelnuts: chop the hazelnuts and toast lightly.
    • Egg: lightly whipped, used for brushing on the outside of the pastry prior to baking.
    • Raw or granulated sugar: sprinkled on the treat before baking for a little added crunch and sweetness.
    ingredients needed to make Nutella pinwheels

    Instructions

    This recipe makes nine puff pastry pinwheels filled with Nutella and hazelnuts. Check out my short video on YouTube for a visual guide to assemble the pastries.

    Start by rolling a sheet of puff pastry to a 12" x 12" square. Next, cut nine 3" x 3" squares from the pastry. Use a cutting wheel or pairing knife to cut diagonally from the corners of each pastry square to approximately 1 inch from the center.

    how to cut puff pastry

    Place 1 tablespoon Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread) in the center of each pastry. Sprinkle hazelnuts over the Nutella. Next, fold every other point toward the center, slightly overlapping them in the middle. Press down lightly on the centers to ensure the pastry retains its shape while baking.

    Storage

    These Nutella Puff Pastry Pinwheels are best served the day you make them. Place in an airtight container once the pastries are completely cooled.
