Why You’ll Love This Baked Nutella Bombs Recipe

This recipe is the definition of simple yet impressive. Whether you’re making them for a party or a cozy night in, they only take about 15 minutes to prepare and bake. The result? Golden brown, puffed-up pastry shells bursting with melted Nutella inside. They taste like they came straight from a bakery but are effortless enough for beginner bakers.

What Kind of Dough Should I Use for Baked Nutella Bombs?

Puff pastry is the secret to that irresistible flaky exterior. You can find frozen puff pastry sheets in most grocery stores, and they work wonderfully for this recipe. Just let the dough thaw before using so it’s easy to fold and seal. If you prefer something more bready, crescent roll dough is a softer alternative that creates a pillowy finish. Either option is delicious, so choose based on your texture preference.

Ingredients for the Baked Nutella Bombs

You don’t need a long list to create something delicious. The ingredients here are simple, and each one plays a vital role in creating that heavenly result.

• Puff pastry sheets
• Nutella
• Egg
• Granulated sugar

The puff pastry sheets are essential for creating that crisp, flaky shell. Nutella brings the creamy, chocolate-hazelnut richness that makes these bombs so indulgent. A beaten egg is used to brush over the pastry, giving it that golden finish once baked. Lastly, a sprinkle of granulated sugar on top adds a slight crunch and touch of sweetness.

How To Make the Baked Nutella Bombs

Step 1: Prepare the Pastry

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Unroll your thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut into even squares.

Step 2: Add the Filling

Spoon a small dollop of Nutella into the center of each square. Be generous, but not so much that it overflows once sealed.

Step 3: Seal the Bombs

Fold each square into a triangle or a bundle, pinching the edges tightly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges and ensure no Nutella escapes during baking.

Step 4: Egg Wash and Sugar

Brush each sealed pastry with beaten egg. Then sprinkle the tops with a little granulated sugar.

Step 5: Bake Until Golden

Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the bombs are puffed and golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.

How to Serve and Store Baked Nutella Bombs

These Nutella bombs are best served warm when the centers are still delightfully melty. They can be a cozy breakfast treat, an after-school snack, or a quick dessert with coffee. This recipe makes about 8 to 10 bombs, perfect for feeding a small group.

To store, let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. They’ll keep at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, just pop them in the oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to bring back the flakiness and warmth.
