Description

Nutella bombs explode with irresistible chocolate charm in this quick air fryer dessert. Crispy pastry shells conceal molten Nutella centers, promising pure indulgence that will delight chocolate enthusiasts with minimal effort.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit or crescent dough
  • 1/2 cup nutella

Coating and Flavor Enhancers:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Finishing Ingredient:

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Detach individual sections of the biscuit or crescent dough, gently smoothing each piece with fingertips to create a uniform surface.
  2. Deposit a generous dollop of Nutella at the center of each dough segment, carefully enveloping the chocolate spread by gathering and sealing the edges into a compact spherical shape.
  3. Configure the air fryer to 350°F, allowing it to thoroughly preheat while positioning the Nutella-encased dough spheres with their sealed surfaces facing downward, ensuring adequate spacing within the cooking basket.
  4. Execute the cooking process for approximately 6-8 minutes, monitoring until the exterior transforms into a rich, golden-brown complexion.
  5. Immediately upon removal, apply a delicate layer of melted butter across the surface of each hot pastry sphere.
  6. Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow receptacle, then systematically tumble each buttered pastry through the aromatic mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
  7. Transfer the freshly coated Nutella bombs to a serving platter, presenting them while still radiating warmth to maximize the molten chocolate interior and crisp exterior experience.

Notes

  • Prevent Nutella leakage by freezing small Nutella dollops beforehand, which helps maintain structure during air frying.
  • Try alternative fillings like peanut butter, jam, or cream cheese for dietary variety and flavor exploration.
  • Use gluten-free crescent roll dough to create a celiac-friendly version of these delectable treats.
  • Reduce sugar content by using powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener instead of traditional sugar for a low-carb option.
