How to make Easy Nutella Crescent Rolls
- Unroll the package of refrigerated crescent rolls and break them apart along the perforated lines in the dough. Lay the 8 triangles down onto a parchment lined baking sheet or counter. Spread ½-1 teaspoon of Nutella {hazelnut spread} on each crescent roll triangle.
- Top with the crescent roll dough and Nutella with chopped hazelnuts.
- Roll the crescent roll triangles tightly, starting at the large end of the triangle.
- Place all of the rolled crescent rolls onto a silicone mat {or parchment} lined baking sheet, making sure to leave about an inch of space between each roll.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
Pro Tips
- Don’t add too much hazelnut spread to the middle of each crescent roll. If you do then it will bubble out when baking and create a mess.
- Add a sprinkle of kosher salt to the Nutella and hazelnuts before rolling the dough. This will add a wonderful sweet and salty flavor.
- Always add a generous sprinkle of powdered sugar to the top of each Nutella Crescent Roll. It gives them a bit of extra sweetness and adds a gorgeous finishing touch.
- Serve the Nutella Rolls warm. They will keep for a couple of days after baking but are best warm and fresh from the oven.
- Strawberries pair wonderfully with hazelnuts! So top your Easy Nutella Crescent Rolls with sliced strawberries for an extra special touch.
