Recipe Ingredients
Below are the few ingredients needed for this recipe:
- Nutella: A chocolate hazelnut spread; I used the classic ‘Nutella’ brand, though any chocolate hazelnut spread will work.
- Puff Pastry: I used readymade puff pastry that’s pre-rolled in parchment paper. You can make homemade puff pastry from scratch, but make sure it’s rolled out evenly.
- Egg (Optional): Brush the pastry with whisked egg to achieve a golden-brown colour once the pastry is baked in the oven. Egg washing the pastry is not 100% necessary, but it does look nice.
- Icing Sugar (Optional): A dusting of icing sugar as a finishing touch; this addition is also optional.
