Puff Pastry Glasses with Nutella I started making puff pastry glasses with Nutella one morning when I didn't feel like doing much work in the kitchen, but wanted something quick and with ingredients on hand. Since then, I make them from time to time, especially when I have a little puff pastry left in the fridge or when guests announce last minute. It's nothing complicated and the result is clear: a little effort, great taste, a dessert that everyone loves. Quick Info Total time: 35-45 minutes, depending on the oven Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 20-30 minutes Servings: 10-12 pieces Difficulty: easy Recipe type: quick dessert with puff pastry, suitable for sweet snacks or when you crave something chocolatey Ingredients 1 pack of fresh puff pastry (about 300 g) 4-5 tablespoons of Nutella powdered sugar for decoration Preparation Method 1. Take the puff pastry out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. If using frozen puff pastry, let it thaw completely before using. 2. Unroll the puff pastry on a work surface. There's no need to roll it out if it's already thin. If the sheet seems too thick, you can gently roll it with a rolling pin, but usually, store-bought ones are ready to use. 3. Spread Nutella over the puff pastry in a thin or slightly thicker layer, according to preference. It's easier to spread if the Nutella isn't too cold. 4. Roll the long edges of the dough towards the center until they meet in the middle. This will give you the shape of "glasses". 5. Cut the rolled dough into slices about 1.5 cm thick. Use a sharp knife to avoid flattening the puff pastry. 6. Place the slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Leave space between them, as they will rise while baking. 7. Preheat the oven to 180°C. 8. Bake the glasses for 20-30 minutes, depending on the oven, until they are golden brown. Don't leave them unattended towards the end to avoid burning the edges. 9. Take the tray out of the oven and let the glasses cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top after they have cooled slightly. Why I Make the Recipe Often I love that I can use a pack of puff pastry and a little Nutella to quickly get something sweet. There aren't many dishes to wash, you don't need a mixer, and you can easily adjust the quantities if needed. They can be served immediately, and leftovers (if any) don't dry out too quickly. Tips and Variations Tips - Use the sharpest knife possible to avoid flattening the rolls. - If you want a shinier edge, you can brush the glasses with a little milk, but it's not essential. - Place the slices cut side up so they open up well while baking. Substitutions - Nutella can be replaced with any chocolate spread or even jam. - Powdered sugar is not mandatory, but it gives a nicer appearance. Variations - For a tangier version, use a denser jam, like cherry or apricot. - You can sprinkle almond flakes before baking if you want a bit of texture. - If you prefer a more intense flavor, mix Nutella with a little cocoa or cinnamon. Serving Ideas - They are good both cold and slightly warm. - They go well with coffee or milk for breakfast or as a quick dessert after lunch. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can frozen puff pastry be used? Yes, but you need to let it thaw completely before working with it to avoid tearing when rolling. 2. Can they be made with other spreads? Yes, you can use any spreadable cream or even thicker jams that don't run when baked. 3. Can they be frozen after baking? Puff pastry glasses keep better fresh. Freezing and thawing can change the texture and make them drier. 4. Can I make them with less Nutella? You can adjust the amount of Nutella to taste. With less cream, they will be crunchier and easier to handle. Nutritional Values Approximately, for one serving (one glass, from 12): - Calories: about 150 kcal - Carbohydrates: 15-16 g - Protein: 2 g - Fat: 8-9 g Values may vary depending on the type of puff pastry and the amount of Nutella used. These are just estimates for guidance. Storage and Reheating They can be stored at room temperature in a closed container for up to 2 days. After the first day, the texture becomes less crunchy. I do not recommend reheating in the oven, as they can dry out. It's best to consume them on the day they were made.
