What’s so good about these Nutella s’mores puff pastries?
- You only need five ingredients, or four if you don’t want any graham cracker crumble on top.
- It literally takes minutes to assemble these Nutella turnovers, but the payoff is huge! They are so good, with that crispy exterior and soft melty interior.
- It’s a lot of fun making these with kids, and they’ll love eating them even more. Truly a great special treat.
Ingredients you need to make these Nutella turnovers:
Puff Pastry: I love using ready puff pastry squares, makes the prep really simple and cuts down on time. If you can’t find puff pastry squares, you can easily make your own by cutting a puff pastry sheet into equal sized squares, about 5×5 inches each.
Nutella: You can use any brand of chocolate hazelnut spread you like. You can even forgo the chocolate hazelnut spread entirely, and use milk chocolate chips or chunks instead. They’ll melt in the oven and have a similar effect.
Mini Marshmallows: I really do recommend using mini marshmallows instead of regular sized, it’ll make it much easier to fold the puff pastry over the filling. In a pinch, you can cut marshmallows down into chunks and use those instead.
Graham Crackers: this is just to give that nice s’mores effect on top of the puff pastry. You’ll use graham cracker or digestive biscuit crumbs and sprinkle them on top of the finished Nutella pastries. Use the biscuit of your choice, or feel free to leave these out entirely.
Egg and water: You’ll mix these together to create an egg wash that you brush over the uncooked puff pastry dough, so that when you bake these up you get a beautiful golden brown color.
How to make these easy s’mores puff pastries:
- Preheat oven to 375 F (190C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the puff pastry squares evenly apart on the baking sheet, then score each in half diagonally to form two triangles. Just mark, without cutting all the way through.
- On one triangle (or 1/2 of the square) spread a heaped teaspoon of Nutella, leaving a border around the edges of dough. On the other half of the square, sprinkle 6 mini marshmallows.
- Fold the square, making a filled puff pastry triangle. Use a fork to very tightly crimp and seal the edges shut.
- Whisk together the egg and water making an egg wash, and brush this generously over the s’mores triangles.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until top is golden brown. If you want these extra gooey, once they are out of the oven, open them carefully and add a few more mini marshmallows, you’ll be able to easily reseal them if you do this while hot.
- Warm a couple of tablespoon of Nutella spread briefly in the microwave, and use to drizzle over the top of the turnovers, then sprinkle the biscuit crumbs on top, and dust with a little powdered sugar if desired.
Storing leftover Nutella turnovers:
I prefer these freshly made, but you can store leftovers for 1-2 days on the counter. I’d recommend reheating for a couple of minutes in an air fryer at 350F (180C) or for five minutes in an oven at the same temperature. Don’t reheat in a microwave, or they’ll get soggy.
Freezing Nutella marshmallow turnovers:
If making these with the intention of freezing them, I’d freeze them when they are folded but before baking. Bake as directed, without thawing, but you may have to add a couple extra minutes to the baking time.
If you do have leftover cooked Nutella turnovers, and you don’t want to store in the fridge, you can freeze for up to a month, and reheat in an air fryer or in a hot oven (as indicated in the section above).
What to serve turnovers with:
I like these as is, with just a little Nutella drizzled on top and a dusting of powdered sugar. You can also serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or serve with a chocolate sauce or marshmallow fluff to dunk into.
Recipe tips and tricks:
- Thaw the puff pastry thoroughly, so it’s pliable and easy to work with. Thaw in the fridge overnight, or on the counter over a couple of hours.
- On the flip side, if your kitchen is warm and the puff pastry is becoming too soft, stick it in the fridge so it’s less sticky and easier to work with.
- Crimp edges of the Nutella puff pastry turnovers thoroughly with a fork to prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Brush the turnovers thoroughly with the egg wash to get a beautiful golden brown color, but don’t put on too thick a coating, just a light wash.
- Don’t overfill so that the filling doesn’t leak out, but also be generous enough that you get a good mouthful of filling when you bite into the s’mores turnovers. Put an amount of the filling ingredients in that you can still fold the puff pastry over and crimp the edges.
Recipe FAQs:
I recommend it to get that golden brown color and crispy flaky exterior texture. You could also brush with heavy cream or milk instead.
You can fill them and place in the fridge up to a day in advance. Don’t brush with an egg wash until right before baking. You can also freeze and bake from frozen.
You can use any type of chocolate hazelnut spread, or a pinch of chocolate chips instead. You can also add in mix-ins of your choice, like Biscoff spread, peanut butter, etc.
Absolutely- air fry in a preheated air fryer at 350F (180C) for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown.
