Indulge in the soft, gooey combination of Nutella and marshmallows encased in a crispy, flaky puff pastry. Nutella Marshmallow Puffs/Turnovers are a foolproof recipe perfect for the holiday season. Simply grab some store-bought puff pastry, Nutella, and marshmallows to create this easy sweet treat at home.
Creating Nutella Marshmallow puffs is incredibly simple. The ingredients and their quantities in this recipe are entirely flexible. I opted for store-bought puff pastry sheet squares, which are pre-cut, making the process much easier and more convenient. I used 6 sheets to make 6 Nutella puffs. If you want to make more, just increase the quantities of the ingredients accordingly. Planning to make 10 puffs? Use 10 sheet squares along with 10 teaspoons of Nutella and marshmallows as needed.
If you can't find puff pastry sheet squares at your supermarket, simply purchase regular puff pastry sheets and cut them into 4 inch squares, and you'll be all set.
Things to note for perfect apple puffs:
Preheating the Oven: This step is essential! You need to preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Puff pastries are baked with a high-temperature burst in the oven, which makes the outside crispy and flaky.
Puff pastry sheet: Purchase a high-quality pre-made puff pastry. Pre-made puff pastries are typically kept in the freezer section, so be sure to thaw the puff pastry for approximately 40-50 minutes before using it. When I mention thawed puff pastry, it should not be frozen but rather cold and flexible, yet not at room temperature. Living in a tropical area, it took me less than 30 minutes to thaw.
Freezing the puffs: Nutella Marshmallow Puffs are most delicious when fresh from the oven. Serve them warm to enjoy the gooey Nutella and marshmallow center. While you can reheat the puffs/turnovers in the oven before serving, the ideal choice is to freeze the prepared Nutella marshmallow puff pastry dough. When ready to bake, remove the dough, place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Egg Wash: To achieve a nice golden brown color on the puffs, brush the pastry with egg wash before baking. For a vegetarian alternative, substitute the egg wash with milk.
Nutella Marshmallow Puffs Makes 6 puffs
Ingredients:
Nutella - 6 tsp.
Mini Marshmallow - 1/3 cup (5 mini marshmallows for each puff pastry square.)
Egg - 1no
Water - 1 tbsp.
Puff pastry squares - 6 no (4-inch square sheets, or use 1-2 puff pastry ready-made sheets and cut them into 4-inch squares)
Plain Flour - 1 tbsp
Icing sugar - 1 tbsp. for garnish
Extra Nutella for Garnish
Method:
Whisk an egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create the eggwash and set it aside.
Sprinkle about a tablespoon of flour onto a cleaned surface and place the puff pastry squares on top of it.
Start with a square piece of puff pastry, put a teaspoon of Nutella in the middle, and add several mini marshmallows on top. I usually add 5 mini marshmallows. (ensure there's enough room to fold and seal the edges)
Next, brush the edges with egg wash, fold it into a triangle, and use a fork to seal the edges. Repeat this process for the remaining ones.
Place the prepared puff pastry triangles in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Now place the puffs onto a baking tray lined with a silicone sheet or baking sheet. Make sure there is about an inch of space between each puff.
Using a silicon or pastry brush, apply egg wash on top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Transfer the puffs onto a wire rack to cool. Drizzle the top with some Nutella and dust with icing sugar.
Serve warm with a nice cup of tea. :)
