Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 1/2 cup Nutella (or other chocolate-hazelnut spread)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp milk (optional, to mix with egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out both puff pastry sheets to the same size. Place one sheet on the baking sheet.
- Spread Nutella evenly over the first sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Place the second puff pastry sheet on top, pressing gently to seal the edges.
- Place a small round cup or cookie cutter in the center (this will be your guide).
- Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into 16 equal strips from the center to the edge, like sun rays.
- Take two adjacent strips and twist them outward two to three times in opposite directions, then pinch the ends together to create a star shape. Repeat with all strips.
- Brush the pastry with the egg wash (egg beaten with milk) for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts over the Nutella before adding the second layer of pastry.
- Serve with a side of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent touch.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, use dark chocolate spread instead of Nutella.
