Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls
- 12-ounce can Pillsbury flaky crescent rolls
Filling
- 5 tablespoons Nutella
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
Egg Wash
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water or milk
Optional Garnishes
- Melted chocolate chips
- Honey
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Separate the crescent rolls and lay them flat on a clean surface to prepare for filling.
- Fill and Roll: Spread Nutella evenly on each crescent roll. Add chocolate chips to the larger end of the roll, then carefully roll them up starting from the larger end to the smaller tip.
- Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water or milk to make the egg wash. Brush the outside of each rolled croissant with the egg wash to ensure a shiny, golden crust.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for cooking.
- Air Fry Croissants: Place the croissants in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they’re not touching. Cook for 8 minutes or until they turn golden brown and flaky.
- Optional Garnish: Once cooked, drizzle melted chocolate chips, honey, or sprinkle powdered sugar over the croissants for added sweetness and presentation before serving.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Use a silicone brush to apply the egg wash gently without tearing the dough.
- For a nuttier flavor, warm the Nutella slightly before spreading.
- These croissants are best served warm for the gooey chocolate filling experience.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with chopped nuts or other fillings as desired.
