Nutella Puff Pastry with Strawberries

Crisp puff pastry topped with creamy Nutella, strawberries and a vanilla glaze. This yummy treat is the best way to satisfy that sweet tooth.

Ingredients: puff pastry sheet Nutella fresh strawberries water confectioners sugar egg

The Steps:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 430 degrees. Let the sheets of puff pastry thaw to room temperature. Using a sharp knife, slice both sheets into thirds along the folds. Cut each third in half to make a rectangle. Use 6 pieces as the base and take the other six and cut out a rectangle in the middle to make a frame.

Step 2: Place the frame along the edges of each base and push down lightly so they form together. Place the pastries on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Crack an egg into a bowl and whisk. Using a basting brush, baste the entirety of each pastry. This egg wash will help the pastry cook. Bake your pastries for about 10 minutes or until they begin to brown.

Step 3: Place the Nutella in a microwave safe bowl and microwave about 20 seconds to make it more spreadable. Spread the Nutella in the middle of the pastry on the inside of the frame.

Step 4: Slice the strawberries and place them over the Nutella. In a bowl combine the water and powdered sugar and drizzle that over the top. Serve and enjoy.

Hint: let the pastries sit a minute before spreading the Nutella. You will notice they are very puffy when they first come out but they do settle in and sink a little.
