Common Questions About Nutella Crescent Rolls
What if I’m out of Nutella?
Heaven forbid! But if you are, peanut butter or almond butter makes a great substitute. Remember, it’s all about that creamy texture!
Puff pastry vs. crescent dough: Which is better?
Crescent dough gives a distinctive buttery flavor and texture. Puff pastry, on the other hand, results in a flakier, more croissant-like treat. Both are delicious, so it depends on your preference!
Can I prep these the night before?
Absolutely! Just cover your prepped rolls with plastic wrap and store them in the fridge. Remember to let them come to room temperature before popping them into the air fryer or oven.
Storage
My kids are huge fans of Nutella. I seriously have to buy it in bulk! Any chance they get to dip their sweet treats into it, they take. Basically, these crescent rolls were devoured faster than I could blink.
Refrigerator
Leftovers? No problem! Store these crescent rolls in an airtight container, and they’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days.
Freezer
Planning ahead? Wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap, then in foil, and freeze for up to a month. Thaw and warm in the air fryer or oven.
Tips
I like to have a pizza cutter handy for separating the rolls. Sometimes they don’t come apart quite as easily as they’re supposed to!
- Ensure your Nutella is at room temperature for easy spreading.
- For an extra golden finish, brush with an egg wash before cooking.
- Add a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top before baking for a sweet crunch.
