Nutella Pastry Pockets Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, cream the butter and cream cheese together until light and creamy. Add the flour slowly until the dough forms. Do not over-mix! Shape the dough into a ball and cover. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• On a lightly-floured surface, using a lightly-floured rolling pin, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch fluted biscuit cutter, cut out as many circles as you can. Form the scraps into a ball and reroll to make more circles.
• Fill each dough circle with a small spoonful of the chocolate-hazelnut spread. Dip your finger in tap water and spread on the edge of half the circle to help create a seal. Fold the dough over to create a crescent. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Cool, then sift the confectioners' sugar on top and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper Unroll dough and use about a 2 ½ inch round cookie cutter to make 16 pastry rounds (You will have to re-roll dough out a few times to get 16 rounds.) Place ½ tsp Nutella in the center of each round, then sprinkle ¼ tsp nuts over Nutella. Using your finger or small pastry brush, rub/brush a little egg wash on the edge of each round. Fold over to form a pocket or "half moon", dip a fork into egg wash, drip to get rid of excess and use it to seal pocket shut. Place all the pockets on prepared baking sheet, brush each with egg wash, and sprinkle each with a pinch of sugar. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on edges. Serve warm, either quickly after baking or microwave them for about 1 minute before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• Beat egg and 2 T. water together; set aside.
• Unfold one sheet of puff pastry, keeping the other sheet covered. Cut into 9-12 squares, depending on the size you wish to make.
• Place 2 t. Nutella in the middle of each square; fold over to form a triangle. Press down the edges with a fork to seal, using a bit of water to moisten the edges so they stick together.
• Brush each pocket with the egg mixture and place on the paper-lined cookie sheet.
• Sprinkle each pocket generously with sugar.
• Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet, placing them on a separate cookie sheet.
• Bake for 9-12 minutes or until puffy and golden brown. The Nutella gets very hot, so let them sit for a few minutes before serving. Yum.

Steps:

• Lightly flour a clean work surface and a rolling pin.
• Separate each biscuit and roll each dough piece into an 8x3 1/2-inch sheet. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons chocolate-hazelnut spread down the center of each piece, keeping 1 inch bare at the top and bottom. Fold the top and bottom down towards the center of the sheet. Roll up the remaining dough tightly to create a cigar shape.
• Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
• Set pastries into the air fryer basket, seam-side down, leaving at least 2 inches between individual pastries since they will expand. Work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Brush tops with butter.
• Air fry until golden browned and puffed up, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer pastries to a serving dish. Brush with more butter and lightly dust with powdered sugar.
