Nutella Puff Pastry Turnovers

Published: Mar 12, 2022 by AmyG Modified On: Dec 5, 2024. This post may contain affiliate links. 1 Comment.

These Nutella Puff Pastry Turnovers are made with store bought frozen butter puff pastry. If you don't know what Nutella is it is like a nut butter but made of hazelnut, milk and chocolate. Nutella is a hazelnut spread and this recipe showcases just one recipe with Nutella.

Of course, if you don't have Nutella, you can substitute any other chocolate hazelnut spread available. But Nutella makes these puff pastry desserts absolutely delicious.

Here's Why You'll Love this Dessert

  • easy to make
  • ready in no time
  • flavor will please kids and adults
  • versatile choices for filling

You can make these nutella puff pastry turnovers any time of the year. Nutella is readily available from your local market. They are quite easy and quick to make if you are in a pinch and need a holiday dessert.

This recipe was inspired by my recipe for Cherry Cream Cheese Strudel or Apple Strudel which also uses puff pastry. For something different try my Savairdi Cookies or my Nonna's S Cookie recipe.

Ingredients Needed to Make Nutella Turnovers

These Nutella Puff Pastry turnovers are made with about 3 ingredients if you don't count the flour needed to roll the dough.

  • Frozen Puff Pastry
  • Nutella
  • Egg (Egg Wash)
  • Flour

See recipe card for amounts.

How to Make Nutella Turnovers

Thaw out your frozen puff pastry dough as per brand directions. (I use PC Butter Puff Pastry sheets 2 in a box)

Preheat oven to 375℉.

puff pastry on floured surface

Roll out the puff pastry and lay it flat against on a floured surface. Roll to 9.5" x 10.5" if necessary.

puff pastry cut into 6 squares

Cut it in half lengthwise, then cut it into three even sections.

puff pastry with egg wash on sides

Using a basting brush, brush the sides of each square with egg wash.

puff pastry with nutella in the middle

Spoon the Nutella into the centre of each square but don't touch the egg wash.

folded puff pastry with nutella inside

Fold over each square and using a fork press the edges together all the way around to seal the pastry.

baked nutella turnovers

Transfer the pastry to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until the tops are slightly golden.

Storage:

Store these turnovers at room temperature covered with plastic wrap. They will keep well for 3 to 4 days.

You can also freeze these Nutella Puff Pastry Turnovers for about a month. Take them out of the freezer and thaw them out in the fridge for 24 hours before you serve them. Sprinkle powdered sugar on them before serving.

Top Tips

Freeze the hazelnut spread by placing 1 tbsp of hazelnut spread in each cube compartment of an ice cube tray lined with plastic wrap. No need to thaw when ready, just pop out and place in centre of your dough closer to the outside edge to make folding easier.

Sprinkle flour on a spatula and use the spatula to make it more easy to transfer the assembled pastry to a baking sheet.

Cut it in half lengthwise, then cut it into three even sections. Do this to the second sheet of puff pastry, as well.

Using a basting brush, brush the sides of each square with egg wash (only one sheet of the pastry).

Spoon the Nutella into the centre of the square, then grab one of the unbasted squares and using a fork seal the edges all the way around.

Transfer the pastry to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the the turnovers are assembled.

Baste the tops of the turnovers with egg wash and sprinkle raw sugar on top. Use a sharp knife (one that does not have a serrated blade) cut slits on the top of the pastry. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Remove from oven and once cooled sprinkle powdered sugar on top.

Substitutions and Variations

These puff pastry turnovers use Nutella, but you don't need to limit yourself to Nutella, here are some other combinations you might want to consider:

  • Fruit - substitute cherry filling, apple and raisings, blueberry or any other fruit you like
  • Potato and Vegetable - substitute potato with rapini or broccoli to make mini Italian vota vota
  • Smores- add graham cracker crumbs and marshmallow to make a smore's turnover.

Have I left something out? Use your imagination to make these turnovers awesome.

Equipment Recommended to Make these Puff Pastry Turnovers

Equipment plays and important role int he outcome of your recipes. For best results, use parchment paper and good baking sheets.
