Puff Pastry Nutella twists are a must for Christmas. The moment these come hot out of the oven, they disappear within seconds. This dessert only has three ingredients and is so easy to prep.
1egg optional but will give them a beautiful colour
1teaspoonwater for the egg wash
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Thaw the puff pastry as per the package directions. I purchased a pack of puff pastry that had two 10 x 10” rolls in it.
Roll out the first puff pastry roll and spread some Nutella on it leaving a very small border. If the Nutella is really hard to spread on you are more than welcome to melted in the microwave for a few seconds just to soften it up.
Once you are finished spreading it on, add the second puff pastry sheet on top and use a knife or a pizza cutter to make lengthwise strips and then cut across the middle to cut them in half. You don’t have to cut them in half if you want extra long twists.
Take each strip and twist is with your hands. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a bowl mix one egg with a little bit of milk or water and lightly brush on each twist or use cooking spray instead.
Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes or until golden and flakey. Powdered sugar on top is optional and enjoy.

Notes
Mix it up with your fillings! Instead of Nutella, you could try a fruit jam (like 🍓 strawberry or raspberry). Alternatively, you could add peanut butter to the Nutella or even try a layer of cream cheese before adding the Nutella.
Try adding a little bit of cinnamon, nutmeg or cardamom to the Nutella to change the flavor a bit.
You could make a glaze with powdered sugar and milk to drizzle over the twists after they come out of the oven.
Instead of the twist shape, you could attempt to braid the strips or make mini twists with smaller strips.
