Ingredients
Crescent Rolls
- 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls (8 rolls)
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1 egg (beaten)
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Alternatively, line the basket of an air fryer with parchment paper if you prefer that method.
- Unroll Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough package and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
- Fill with Nutella: Spread about 1 tablespoon of Nutella evenly over each dough triangle.
- Roll Up Dough: Carefully roll each triangle starting at the wide end to form crescent shapes.
- Arrange Rolls: Place the rolled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet or air fryer basket, ensuring they have some space to expand.
- Egg Wash: Use a pastry brush to coat each roll with the beaten egg. This step gives the rolls a lovely golden brown finish.
- Bake or Air Fry: For oven baking, bake the rolls for 11 to 13 minutes until golden brown. If using an air fryer, cook at 330°F (165°C) for 5 to 6 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the rolls and allow them to cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling slightly.
- Melt Chocolate Chips: Place the chocolate chips in a resealable plastic bag and microwave for 30 seconds. Knead inside the bag until fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Cut a small corner off the bag and drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled crescent rolls for an indulgent finishing touch.
Notes
- You can substitute Nutella with any other chocolate hazelnut spread or even peanut butter for variation.
- If you prefer extra gooey centers, add small pieces of chocolate chips inside the dough before rolling.
- For a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free crescent dough and egg substitute for the egg wash.
- Serve warm for the best experience, though leftovers can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
- Ensure parchment paper is used in the air fryer to avoid sticking, but do not cover the air fryer vents.
