Description

Indulge in these irresistible Nutella Balls, a perfect bite-sized dessert made with crescent roll dough filled with creamy Nutella, air-fried to golden perfection, and coated with a buttery cinnamon sugar crust.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry

Filling

  • 1/2 cup (150g) Nutella

Coating & Finishing

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface. If using crescent dough, pinch the seams together to form a solid sheet. Cut the dough into 8 equal squares.
  2. Add the Nutella Filling: Place 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each dough square. Be careful not to overfill, or the Nutella may leak out during cooking.
  3. Seal the Dough: Fold the edges of the dough over the Nutella and pinch them together to seal tightly. Roll each piece into a smooth ball shape, ensuring there are no open seams.
  4. Apply the Egg Wash: Brush the outside of each dough ball with beaten egg. This helps create a golden, crispy crust when cooked.
  5. Air Fry the Nutella Bombs: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the Nutella balls in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  6. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: While the Nutella bombs are still warm, brush them lightly with melted butter and roll them in a cinnamon-sugar mixture for extra flavor.
  7. Serve & Enjoy: Let them cool slightly before serving as the Nutella filling will be hot. Enjoy warm for the ultimate Air Fryer Nutella Crescent Rolls experience.

Notes

  • Seal the dough well to prevent Nutella from leaking out during cooking.
  • Do not overfill; use just 1 teaspoon of Nutella per piece for the perfect balance.
  • Preheat the air fryer to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
