Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls (8 oz)
- 1/3 cup Nutella or Homemade Nutella
- Optional: chopped hazelnuts, powdered sugar, or melted chocolate chips for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Dough: Open the can of refrigerated crescent rolls and carefully separate the dough at the perforated seams to form individual triangles.
- Spread Nutella: Place the dough triangles on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon approximately two teaspoons of Nutella onto the wider end of each triangle, spreading it evenly but leaving space at the edges.
- Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle optional chopped hazelnuts or any other toppings you prefer onto the Nutella for added texture and flavor.
- Roll Crescents: Starting from the wide end, gently roll each triangle towards the pointed end to form crescent shapes.
- Bake: Place the crescent rolls in the preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Garnish: After baking, if desired, drizzle with melted chocolate chips and dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
- Serve and Store: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Store any leftovers in a covered container at room temperature; refrigeration is not necessary.
Notes
- You can customize the filling by adding chopped nuts, peanut butter, or jam along with Nutella.
- For a quicker method, crescent rolls can also be baked in an air fryer at 320°F (160°C) for 8-10 minutes.
- Ensure not to overfill the dough to prevent Nutella from leaking during baking.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
