How To Make Nutella Stuffed Churros In Air Fryer

Step One: Prepare The Dough

Start by laying out your dough on a floured work surface or cutting board. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife and cut the dough into 4 even-sized squares. Then cut each square in half, in the shape of a triangle.

Step Two: Add Your Nutella Filling

Use a tablespoon, and add about 1 tablespoon of filling to the center of the puff pastry. Spread the Nutella with a butter knife, or the back of a spoon.

Step Three: Roll Up The Nutella Bites

Roll up the dough, and pinch the ends to keep the filling inside. Continue to roll, until you have used all of your puff pastry.

Step Four: Air Fry Nutella Churros

Spray the basket with cooking spray, and preheat your air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 400 degrees F. Then add your Nutella Churros, and set the cooking time for 5-8 minutes at 400 degrees F, using the air fryer setting.

Step Five: Coating Churros

Melt the butter, and then in a small bowl, add the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, and mix well. Remove the cooked churros from the air fryer, and then immediately dip them in the melted butter, and then coat them in the ground cinnamon sugar.

Step Six: Serving

Serve with caramel sauce, melted chocolate or as they are, and enjoy!
