Tips For The Best Air-Fried Nutella Stuffed Churros

Churros are a classic Spanish dessert that can be enjoyed in many different ways. One of the most popular variations of churros is Nutella stuffed churros, which takes the traditional recipe up a notch. If you’re looking for an even more elevated version, try air-frying your stuffed churros! Here are some tips to get the best results:

  • Overfilling: Make sure that you generously fill each churro with Nutella, but be careful not to overfill them. This will help the Nutella to stay inside and not leak out during the cooking process.
  • Cook In Batches: Air-fry your churros in batches to ensure that they’re cooked evenly and don’t stick together.
  • Timing: Since all air fryers are somewhat different it’s important that you watch your churros as they cook up.
  • Roll: For best results roll the churros into the butter and cinnamon sugar, while they are hot, so the toppings stick.
