These Nutella Puff Pastry Turnovers are made with store bought frozen puff pastry. If you don't know what Nutella is it is a 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 danishes absolutely delicious.

Instructions on How to Make Nutella Puff Pastry Turnovers
Thaw out your frozen puff pastry dough overnight in the fridge. You can also thaw out your frozen puff pastry on the counter for about 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Roll out the puff pastry and lay it flat against the parchment paper it came wrapped in or roll it out on a floured surface.
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.
