Steps to prepare Nutella Puff Pastry Men
Prepare the Nutella Puff Pastry Men by first unrolling a well-chilled roll of puff pastry. Spread a generous amount of Nutella on one half of the pastry.
Fold the unfrosted part over the Nutella filling and press lightly with the palm of your hand to make the two pastries adhere to each other.
At this point, use a man-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the men and as they are ready, place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake the Nutella Puff Pastry Men in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15 minutes or alternatively in an air fryer. Once baked, you can sprinkle them with icing sugar once they have cooled.
Simo and Cicci’s recommendations
Consume the Nutella Puff Pastry Men on the same day, when they will still be crispy. You can still store them for up to two days in a tightly sealed container.
Instead of Nutella, you can use other types of spreads, such as pistachio, Pan di Stelle, or Lotus.
With the leftovers of the pastry and Nutella, you can cut out stars or make swirls like these that you find by clicking here.
