Air Fryer Nutella Stuffed Churros
Description
Air Fryer Nutella Stuffed Churros are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and filled with warm, melty Nutella in every bite. Made in the air fryer for an easy homemade dessert, these churros are coated in cinnamon sugar and taste like something straight from a carnival stand.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff Pastry, thawed
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup butter, unsalted, and melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve with caramel sauce, melted chocolate or as they are, and enjoy!
