Air Fryer Nutella Stuffed Churros
Description
Crispy puff pastry churros with a warm, melty Nutella center, coated in cinnamon sugar and made entirely in the air fryer in about 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Lay one thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4 even squares, then cut each square in half diagonally to form 8 triangles. Repeat with the second sheet for 16 total.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of Nutella onto the wide end of each triangle and spread it toward the center, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Roll each triangle up from the wide end toward the point. Pinch the seam and both ends firmly to seal.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and preheat to 400°F for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Place the churros in the basket in a single layer, seam side down. Cook at 400°F for 5 to 8 minutes, until golden and puffed. Work in batches.
- While they cook, melt the butter and combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Dip each hot churro in melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar until coated. Serve warm.
Equipment
- Air fryer (basket or oven style)
- Non-Stick Cooking Spray
- Pizza cutter or sharp knife
- Parchment paper (optional)
Notes
Keep the pastry cold for the best puff. Do not overfill or the Nutella will leak. Coat while hot so the cinnamon sugar sticks.
