Easy Nutella Pop Tart Recipe

Pop-Tarts are an American food in the same aisle as the cereal in most American Grocery Stores. Pop Tarts have been around since 1964, introduced first by Kellogg’s Brand. They were invented as a quick and easy breakfast alternative.

Several flavors are available, but Nutella is currently unavailable for sale. This is why making it yourself is fantastic and very simple.

What is Nutella?

Nutella is an easy ingredient. It’s found in the peanut butter aisle at your local grocery store.

Be aware that Nutella does contain tree nuts, as it is a hazelnut cocoa spread. It is of Italian origin but has been in the United States since the 1970s.

If you are allergic to tree nuts, a great alternative and nut-free version that you could use would be Cadbury’s Chocolate Spread, Don’t Go Nuts Chocolate Creamy Soy Spread, or Cookie Dough Chocolate Chip Spread.

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Nutella Pop-Tarts

• Refrigerator Pie Dough
• Nutella
• Sparkling Sugar
• Cooking Spray

How To Make Air Fryer Nutella Pop-Tarts

Here are the simple step-by-step instructions:

Layout your pie crust and cut it into 4 equal pieces, I cut mine into rectangles, so they would be easier to fold. Place about 2 tablespoons of Nutella on the pie dough. Spread the Nutella to about 1/4 inch of the ends.

Fold the dough over, and crimp the edges together with a fork. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place the pop-tarts into the basket. Set the temperature to 350 degrees F, with the air fryer setting, set cook time for 8-10 minutes.

Air Fryer Nutella Pop-Tarts Recipe Tips

• Seal the Edges Well: When assembling the Pop-Tarts, press the edges of the dough together firmly with a fork to prevent the Nutella filling from leaking out during cooking.
• Use Parchment Paper: Place the Pop-Tarts on a piece of parchment paper in the air fryer basket to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
• Avoid Overcrowding: Cook the Pop-Tarts in batches if necessary, ensuring there’s enough space between them for air circulation. This helps them cook evenly and become crispy.
• Check for Doneness: Air fryer models can vary, so check the Pop-Tarts a few minutes before the suggested cooking time to ensure they don’t overcook.
• Cool Before Frosting: Let the Pop-Tarts cool slightly before applying any frosting or glaze.
• Customize Your Filling: Feel free to experiment with different fillings besides Nutella, such as fruit preserves or peanut butter, to create your own variations.
• Add a Crumb Topping: For extra texture and flavor, consider adding a crumb topping before cooking.
• Keep a Close Eye: Since air fryers can cook quickly, keep a close eye on the Pop-Tarts to avoid burning them.
• Use Pre-Rolled Dough: For convenience, you can use store-bought pre-rolled dough or pastry sheets.

Air Fryer Nutella Pop-Tarts Recipe Faqs

Can I use homemade dough for Nutella Pop-Tarts? Yes, you can use homemade dough if you prefer. Just roll it out and cut it into rectangles, then fill with Nutella and follow the recipe instructions for cooking in the air fryer.

How do I prevent the Nutella from leaking out during cooking? To prevent leakage, seal the edges of the dough thoroughly with a fork or your fingers. You can also brush the edges with a bit of water before sealing to help them stick better.

How do I store leftover Pop-Tarts? Store leftover Pop-Tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to a month. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispness.

Can I frost the Pop-Tarts before air frying? It’s best to frost the Pop-Tarts after they have cooked and cooled slightly. Frosting them before cooking can cause the frosting to melt and make a mess.

Can I make Pop-Tarts ahead of time? Yes, you can assemble the Pop-Tarts ahead of time and refrigerate them until you’re ready to cook. This can make it easier to prepare them quickly when you’re ready to enjoy.

What if my Pop-Tarts are not cooking evenly? If your Pop-Tarts are not cooking evenly, make sure they are placed in a single layer with enough space between them. You may also need to adjust the cooking time or temperature based on your air fryer’s performance.
