Introduction

These Nutella Crescent Rolls are a quick and indulgent treat perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack. Flaky, buttery crescent dough wrapped around creamy Nutella creates a delightful combination that’s sure to please any chocolate lover.

The image shows six golden-brown crescent rolls arranged in two rows of three on parchment paper over a white marbled surface. Each crescent roll is filled with dark, melted chocolate that peeks out from the ends, with a shiny drizzle of more melted chocolate sweeping across the top of each roll in a zigzag pattern. Light dusting of powdered sugar is sprinkled evenly over all the rolls and the surface, adding a soft white contrast against the rich browns and golden hues. The crescent rolls have a flaky, slightly textured crust that looks freshly baked. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 can refrigerated crescent rolls (8 oz)
1/3 cup Nutella (or homemade Nutella)
Optional: chopped hazelnuts, powdered sugar, or melted chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Break the crescent roll dough at the seams to separate it into individual triangles. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Spread about two teaspoons of Nutella evenly onto each dough triangle. Add any optional toppings like chopped hazelnuts.
Step 4: Roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow end to form crescent shapes.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown.
Step 6: Once baked, you may drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle powdered sugar on top for extra sweetness.

Tips & Variations

For a crunchier texture, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts inside the roll before baking.
Try adding a dollop of peanut butter with the Nutella for a nutty twist.
To make this recipe nut-free, substitute Nutella with a chocolate spread without nuts.
If using an air fryer, bake at 320°F (160°C) for about 8–10 minutes, checking frequently for doneness.

Storage

Store leftover rolls in a covered container at room temperature for up to 2 days. These crescent rolls do not require refrigeration. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to enjoy warm and soft rolls again.

How to Serve

Six crescent-shaped pastries are arranged in two rows of three on a light brown baking paper over a white marbled texture. Each pastry shows a golden-baked, flaky, layered dough rolled around a thick, dark chocolate filling visible at the open ends. The tops are drizzled with glossy, dark chocolate syrup in wavy lines, and a light dusting of powdered sugar adds a delicate white contrast across all the pastries and the paper underneath. The surface texture of the dough is smooth and slightly shiny from baking, while the melted chocolate looks rich and thick. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I freeze Nutella Crescent Rolls?
