Nutella Pastry Twists
Description
Nutella Pastry Twists use thawed puff pastry sheets spread with a rich chocolate hazelnut spread. The layering of two puff pastry sheets with the filling sealed between results in a light yet indulgent pastry after twisting and baking. The twists are brushed with an egg wash to promote a golden color and can be finished with coarse sanding sugar for added texture and subtle sweetness. Baking at 350 degrees ensures the puff pastry cooks evenly and the edges crisp up nicely, while the Nutella melts inside for a creamy filling.
The final product features a contrast of buttery, flaky layers with the smooth, sweet filling that isn’t overly rich. These pastries are ideal served slightly warm, allowing the Nutella to remain luscious. They work well as a dessert, a sweet snack, or alongside coffee or tea during breakfast or brunch.
The recipe requires minimal equipment and can be adapted by varying the filling used or omitting the sanding sugar for a subtler finish. Careful rolling and cutting ensure even twists that bake uniformly. Cool the twists on the baking sheet for a few minutes after baking to allow them to set and avoid breaking.
