Description
A festive treat packed with Nutella goodness, wrapped in flaky puff pastry, and topped with a whimsical green frosting. Perfect for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a touch of sweetness and crunch!
Ingredients
For the Pastries: 1 package store-bought puff pastry dough (thawed as per instructions), 1 cup Nutella (or any chocolate hazelnut spread), 1 egg (for egg wash), 1 bottle SprinklePop’s Leprechaun Loot sprinkle mix.
For the Light Green Frosting: 2 cups powdered sugar, 2-4 tablespoons milk, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, green food coloring (start with 2 drops and adjust for desired color).
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven – Set to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare the Dough – Unroll the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Lightly roll it out to even out any creases.
- Cut the Dough – Slice into rectangles (approximately 3×4 inches each). You should get 24 rectangles total (two per pastry).
- Add Nutella Filling – Arrange half of the rectangles on the baking sheet. Spoon 1 tablespoon of Nutella into the center of each, leaving a small border.
- Seal the Pastries – Cover with the remaining rectangles and press the edges together. Use a fork to crimp and seal them.
- Apply Egg Wash – Beat the egg and brush the tops of the pastries lightly.
- Bake – Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Preparing the Light Green Frosting:
- Mix the Frosting – In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth. Add more milk if needed for the desired consistency.
- Color the Frosting – Add 2 drops of green food coloring, mixing well. Adjust color as desired.
- Decorate – Once pastries are cool, drizzle or spread the frosting over the top
Notes
- For extra crunch, sprinkle crushed hazelnuts over the frosting before it sets.
- Storage Tip – Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Variation – Swap Nutella for peanut butter or cookie butter for a different flavor twist.
