🔪 How to make Nutella puff pastry swirls
The recipe card with ingredient quantities and full instructions is at the bottom of the post.
One: Preheat the oven. Lay the ready-rolled puff pastry sheet flat and spread an even layer of Nutella, leaving about 1cm clear at the top and bottom edges.
Two: Roll the pastry tightly from the long side into a log. If you have time, chill the log in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm it up, which makes slicing easier.
Three: Using a sharp knife, slice the log into rounds about 1.5cm thick. Place the rounds on a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each swirl.
Four: Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden. Let cool briefly, then dust with icing sugar if desired.
Top Tips
- Roll the pastry as tightly as you can to create neat, defined swirls.
- Chilling the rolled log for 10 minutes makes for cleaner slices and helps the swirls hold their shape.
- Brush with an egg wash before baking for a glossy finish, and dust with icing sugar after baking for extra sweetness.
🍴 Serving suggestions
Serve these Nutella snacks warm or at room temperature as party canapés, an after-school treat, or breakfast pastry. For a dessert serving, add fresh berries and a scoop of ice cream.
📖 Variations
- Swap Nutella for raspberry jam, peanut butter, Biscoff spread, or mincemeat for a seasonal twist.
- Add texture by sprinkling chopped hazelnuts over the spread before rolling.
- Use gluten-free puff pastry to make these suitable for a gluten-free diet.
🥡 Storage
Store baked swirls in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Note that the pastry will gradually lose its crispness over time.
Reheat briefly in a hot oven to refresh the crispiness if you prefer them warm.
Freeze unbaked swirls on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Bake from frozen, adding about 5 minutes to the cooking time.
