Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Coating/Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 egg (optional for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to a precise 350°F (175°C), ensuring the optimal temperature for crispy, golden pastry pockets.
- Gently transform each biscuit dough into a delicate, thin circular shape using your fingertips, creating a soft, malleable base.
- Carefully position a generous dollop of creamy Nutella directly in the center of each prepared dough disc, allowing for a rich chocolate core.
- Carefully envelope the Nutella by delicately folding the dough edges, meticulously pinching and sealing to prevent any potential leakage during cooking.
- For an enhanced aesthetic, delicately brush the exterior with a silky egg wash, promoting a lustrous, bronzed appearance.
- Strategically arrange the Nutella-filled parcels in the air fryer basket, positioning them seam-side downward to maintain structural integrity.
- Allow the pastries to transform for 6-8 minutes, watching them develop a beautiful golden-brown exterior and achieve a crisp, flaky texture.
- Optional: Softly dust the warm treats with a delicate veil of powdered sugar, creating a visually appealing and subtly sweet finish before serving immediately.
Notes
- Chill Nutella beforehand to prevent messy leakage during cooking and make wrapping easier.
- Use parchment paper in the air fryer basket to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- For gluten-free version, substitute regular biscuit dough with gluten-free crescent roll dough or pastry.
- Create variation by adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips inside the Nutella filling for extra texture and flavor.
