Now, finding a good Nutella recipe is a bit hard to come by. Sometimes, they just give you the randomest things that just do not make sense together. For example, when I saw Nutella and Cream Cheese, I was a bit afraid. But I tried it and my goodness, this is such a heavenly combination. Put this inside a turnover that is chock-full of that mixture and you have yourself a wonderful little treat (or in my case, complete dinner sometimes!).
I have been known to (on occasion) eat so many of these while cooking them, that I skip dinner altogether. Check out what our friends over at Country Cleaver had to say about these:
“Are these dessert or breakfast? I can’t really tell. Turnover implies breakfast, but being slathered in Nutella and puff pastry totally screams dessert. Breakfast, desserts, breakfast, dessert. Thinking is hard. Really I just prefer opening wide and shoving one of these mini nutella cream cheese turnovers into my face hole.”
Yep, yep yep! I wanna stuff my face with these too now!
Ingredients
1 sheet Pillsbury Puff Pastry, thawed
¼ cup Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
2/3 cup Nutella, divided
2 Tbsp Gold Medal Flour, for dipping fork to crimp turnover edges
1 Egg
1 Tbsp Water
2 Tbsp Domino Powdered Sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
On silicone baking mat, or floured surface, roll out puff pastry into a 12×12 inch square. Cut into 9 equal square shapes.
In bowl, whisk together cream cheese and ½ cup of Nutella until smooth and evenly mixed.
Drop 1 Tbsp of cream cheese/Nutella mixture into the corner of puff pastry. Leave a small edge on the puff pastry so when you fold the squares over the edges can be crimped together. Fold opposite side of the square over the Nutella/cream cheese mixture. Using a fork dipped in flour press the edges of the turnovers with the tines of the fork to seal the edges together.
Places the turnovers onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone baking sheet. In small dish, whisk together egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush each turnover with the egg wash
Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and drizzle with additional warmed Nutella. Serve warm.
