These Nutella cream puffs are a delightful combination of flaky pastry, rich hazelnut spread, and light, fluffy whipped cream. Perfect for an indulgent treat!
Ingredients (Makes 6 cream puffs)
- 1 roll of ready-rolled puff pastry
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 200g Nutella (warmed in the microwave)
- 50g hazelnuts (chopped)
- 400ml double cream
- 3 tablespoons icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Puff Pastry
Cut the puff pastry into triangles. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle lightly with brown sugar.
2. Bake the Pastry
Place the triangles on a lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Prepare the Fillings
While the pastry bakes, chop the hazelnuts and warm the Nutella in the microwave. Transfer the Nutella into a piping bag.
4. Whip the Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip the double cream, icing sugar, and vanilla bean paste. Under-whip slightly to prevent splitting when piped.
5. Assemble the Cream Puffs
Once baked, allow the puff pastry to cool slightly, then slice each piece in half horizontally. Pipe Nutella onto the bottom half, followed by the whipped cream. Place the top half back on.
6. Decorate and Serve
Drizzle more Nutella over the top and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts for extra crunch. Enjoy!
Top Tips:
- Make sure to under-whip the cream as it will thicken further when piped.
- Use warm Nutella for smooth piping and easy spreading.
- Chop hazelnuts finely for an even crunch without overwhelming the texture.
- Let pastries cool slightly before filling to prevent the cream from melting.
These Nutella cream puffs are a perfect combination of crispy, creamy, and chocolatey goodness—great for any dessert lover!
