Description
This Strawberry Nutella Puff Pastry is the epitome of an easy, elegant, and crowd-pleasing dessert
Ingredients
- 1 whole Sheet Frozen Puff Pastry, thawed
- 1 Egg, beaten (optional)
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, such as Nutella
- Fresh Sliced Strawberries (enough to cover the Nutella in a single layer
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Puff Pastry.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface or parchment paper.
Use a sharp knife to score the edges of the puff pastry, about 1 centimeter in from the edges. Don’t cut all the way through. This creates a border.
Use a fork to prick the interior of the puff pastry thoroughly. This prevents it from puffing up too much in the center.
Step 2: (Optional) Egg Wash.
If desired, brush the beaten egg along the scored edges of the puff pastry. This will give it a golden brown color and a nice sheen.
Step 3: Bake the Puff Pastry.
Place the puff pastry on a baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
Step 4: Press Down the Center.
Use a spatula to gently press down the interior of the puff pastry, separating it from the raised crust. This creates a well for the filling.
If you desire a more golden and baked puff pastry, bake for 3 more minutes.
Step 5: Add the Filling.
Spread the chocolate hazelnut spread evenly in the center of the puff pastry, within the scored border.
Arrange the sliced strawberries in a single layer on top of the Nutella.
Step 6: Slice and Serve.
Slice the tart into squares or rectangles.
Serve immediately. The puff pastry is best enjoyed fresh.
