Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Rolls

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls (8 oz)

Filling

  • 1/3 cup Nutella (or Homemade Nutella)

Optional Garnishes

  • Chopped hazelnuts
  • Powdered sugar
  • Melted chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the rolls do not stick and bake evenly.
  2. Prepare Dough Triangles: Open the can of refrigerated crescent rolls and break the dough at the seams to separate into individual triangles. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Add Nutella Filling: Spread about two teaspoons of Nutella evenly over each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges. Add any optional toppings such as chopped hazelnuts if desired.
  4. Roll into Crescents: Starting from the wider end of each triangle, carefully roll the dough towards the pointed end to form crescent shapes. Place the rolls with the pointed end underneath on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Optional Finishing Touches: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. If desired, drizzle melted chocolate over the rolls and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
  7. Storage: Store any leftovers in a covered container at room temperature. These rolls do not require refrigeration for storage and are best enjoyed fresh.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the crescent rolls to prevent Nutella from leaking during baking.
  • For a crunchier texture, add chopped hazelnuts inside or on top before baking.
  • Leftovers can be reheated briefly in the oven for a fresh-baked texture.
  • Consider using homemade Nutella for a personalized flavor or to control sweetness.
  • The crescent rolls can also be baked in an air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, checking frequently.
