Description

Indulge in the irresistible combination of flaky crescent rolls and creamy Nutella with this quick and easy dessert recipe. Perfectly golden and oozing with chocolaty goodness, these rolls are the ultimate treat for any occasion. Ready in under 30 minutes, they’re bound to become a favorite in your home!


Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1/3 cup Nutella (or homemade chocolate-hazelnut spread)
  • Optional toppings:
    • Chopped hazelnuts
    • Powdered sugar
    • Melted chocolate chips

Instructions

Gather Your Ingredients

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Crescent Dough

  • Open the can of crescent rolls and carefully unroll the dough.
  • Separate the dough at the seams to form individual triangles.
  • Lay the triangles flat on the prepared baking sheet.

3. Add the Nutella Filling

  • Spread about two teaspoons of Nutella onto each triangle, ensuring even coverage.
  • For added flavor and texture, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts or mini chocolate chips over the Nutella.

4. Roll Them Up

  • Starting at the widest end of each triangle, roll the dough tightly into a crescent shape.
  • Place each roll seam-side down on the baking sheet to prevent unrolling during baking.

5. Bake to Perfection

  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
  • Bake for 12 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
  • Monitor closely to avoid overbaking, as Nutella can bubble over.

6. Garnish and Serve

  • Optional: Drizzle the baked rolls with melted chocolate or dust with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
  • Serve warm for the best experience, though they’re equally delicious at room temperature.

Notes

  • Avoid Overfilling: Too much Nutella may make rolling difficult and lead to leaks during baking.
  • Seam Security: Pinch the edges of the dough to keep the filling inside.
  • Customizable: Add fruit slices, nuts, or caramel for a unique twist.
