These 3-Ingredient Nutella Croissants are a quick and delicious pastry made with store-bought puff pastry, Nutella, and an egg, resulting in a flaky, chocolatey treat.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 croissants

Ingredients

1 package (2 sheets) store-bought puff pastry, thawed but still cool

3/4 cup Nutella

1 egg (plus 1 tablespoon of water)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Lay the thawed puff pastry sheets on a clean, lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 6 triangles for a total of 12 croissants.
  3. Add the Nutella: Place a small spoonful (about 1-2 teaspoons) of Nutella near the base of each triangle. Be careful not to add too much, as it might leak out during baking.
  4. Roll the Croissants: Starting at the wide edge of each triangle, gently roll the pastry towards the tip to form a croissant shape. Try to roll tightly but not so tight that the Nutella spills out.
  5. Make the Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash for a golden finish.
  6. Bake: Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the croissants are puffed up and golden brown.
  7. Serve: Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, with or without a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

If you prefer a nut-free version, substitute Nutella with any chocolate spread or peanut butter spread.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or drizzle caramel before baking.

To make mini croissants, cut the puff pastry into smaller triangles and bake for 10-12 minutes.

These croissants are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
