Ingredients

Scale

Nutella Crescent Rolls

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls (8 oz)
  • 1/3 cup Nutella (or Homemade Nutella)

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped hazelnuts
  • Powdered sugar
  • Melted chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Crescent Dough: Open the refrigerated crescent roll dough and gently break it apart along the seams to separate into triangle shapes.
  3. Add Nutella Filling: Spread about two teaspoons of Nutella evenly onto each crescent dough triangle, making sure not to overfill to avoid oozing during baking.
  4. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts or other toppings onto the Nutella layer for added texture and flavor.
  5. Roll Crescents: Carefully roll each triangle up from the wide end to the narrow end to form crescent rolls, ensuring the filling stays inside.
  6. Bake Rolls: Place the rolled crescents onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Finish and Serve: Once baked, optionally drizzle with melted chocolate and dust with powdered sugar for a decorative and sweet finish. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Store leftovers in a covered container at room temperature; refrigeration is not necessary.

Notes

  • For a crunchy texture, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts before rolling the crescent dough.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • For a fancier presentation, drizzle melted chocolate after baking and dust with powdered sugar.
  • An air fryer can also be used to bake these crescent rolls; cook at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes and check for doneness.
