These Easy Crispy Nutella Puff Pastry Pinwheels are quick, simple snacks featuring flaky puff pastry filled with creamy Nutella, perfect for any occasion and loved by kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) Nutella or chocolate-hazelnut spread
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
  • Optional add-ins:
  • 2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts or almonds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, gently unfold each thawed puff pastry sheet. Use a rolling pin to smooth out any folds or creases to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness.
  3. Spread about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of Nutella evenly over each sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) border around the edges.
  4. If using, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts or cinnamon evenly over the Nutella layer.
  5. Starting from one long edge, carefully roll each sheet into a tight log, keeping the roll even and snug.
  6. Slice each log into 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick rounds, yielding about 12–14 pinwheels total.
  7. Place pinwheels cut side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
  8. Brush the tops lightly with beaten egg for a golden shine.
  9. Sprinkle granulated sugar on top if desired.
  10. Bake for 12–15 minutes until puffed and golden brown, rotating the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
  11. Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold until ready to use to prevent stickiness. Avoid spreading Nutella to the edges to prevent leaking. Rotate baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning. Reheat in toaster or conventional oven to restore crispiness. Variations include adding fruit slices, nuts, cinnamon, or using gluten-free/vegan alternatives.
