Nutella Croissants
These 2 ingredient Nutella croissants are so easy! Made with puff pastry (or crescent rolls) and baked or air fried, these Nutella-filled croissants are flaky, buttery, warm, gooey, chocolatey, and so delicious!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed by still cold, or can of crescent rolls
- 6 tablespoons Nutella ½ tablespoon per triangle or as required
- 1 tablespoon milk (or egg wash) optional
Instructions
Making Nutella Croissants with Puff Pastry
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and keep it aside.
- Sprinkle flour (lightly) on a cutting board, or clean a flat surface. Spread the puff pastry sheet, and sprinkle it lightly with flour too(if required). With a rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry until it is smooth and even.
- Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the puff pastry into triangles (I cut mine into 6).
- Place about ½ tablespoon of Nutella (more or less, depending on your preference) on the wide end of each triangle. Spread it out slightly using a spoon (optional).
- Starting with the wide end of the triangle and going towards the narrow end, roll the triangle tightly into a croissant shape. Use milk to seal the edge.
- Place the rolled croissant on the lined baking sheet. Brush the top of each croissant with milk (or egg wash)
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden and flaky. You can also air fry them at 350°F for 15 mins or until golden and flaky and cooked through.
- Once the croissants are cooled, dust them with powdered sugar or drizzle more Nutella or melted chocolate and enjoy!

- Starting with the wide end of the triangle and going towards the narrow end, roll the triangle tightly into a croissant shape. You can use milk to seal the edge
- Place the rolled croissant on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden. You can also air fry them at 350°F for 8-10 mins or until golden.

Notes
Baking time, temperature, and color of croissants can vary as per your oven, air fryer, and type/quality of puff pasty used.
These croissants are made with just two ingredients so recommend using good quality puff pastry as these Nutella croissants will be as good as the puff pastry used.
Store-bought puff pastry makes it easy, and convenient to make these croissants. They are easily available in the freezer section of most grocery stores. You can use whichever brand you like best. Or you can make your own puff pastry dough too.
You can also use crescent rolls instead of puff pastry for this recipe but the texture will not be the same. The Nutella croissants with crescent rolls will not be flaky and as crispy as the ones with puff pastry. But they are delicious!
Brushing the croissants with milk or egg wash results in golden brown croissants on baking. You can skip the wash in which case the croissant will be dull and pale but still delicious.
If you’re concerned about Nutella leaking out, don’t spread it much and press the ends and seal it to make it secure.
You can store leftover croissants for 3-4 days at room temperature in an airtight container or in the fridge for a week. Before servicing warm them for a few seconds in the microwave (soft warm soft croissants) or a few minutes in the air fryer or oven (for warm crisp croissants).
