Description

Nutella bombs explode with chocolatey goodness straight from your air fryer, delivering irresistible molten centers. Sweet pastry pockets cradle rich chocolate hazelnut filling, promising a quick dessert that delights your taste buds with minimal effort.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits
  • 1 cup (280 g) Nutella

Filling Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted

Topping Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup (31 g) confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

  1. Gently unfold each biscuit and delicately press them into thin circles, creating a soft, uniform base for filling.
  2. Carefully dollop a generous spoonful of Nutella precisely in the center of each biscuit, ensuring even distribution.
  3. Skillfully fold the edges of the biscuit, pinching and sealing the sides to create a compact, fully enclosed spherical shape.
  4. Activate the air fryer and calibrate the temperature to 350F (175C), allowing it to reach optimal heat for precise cooking.
  5. Position the Nutella-filled pastry orbs in the air fryer basket, arranging them with strategic spacing to promote even air circulation and consistent browning.
  6. Allow the pastries to cook for 8-10 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown exterior that signals perfect caramelization and crispy texture.
  7. Carefully extract the hot Nutella bombs from the air fryer and immediately brush their surface with a light coating of melted butter for enhanced richness.
  8. Finish by delicately dusting the warm pastries with a soft layer of confectioners’ sugar, creating an elegant and sweet final presentation.

Notes

  • Prevent Nutella leakage by freezing small Nutella dollops beforehand, ensuring a cleaner sealing process.
  • Experiment with alternative fillings like peanut butter, fruit preserves, or cream cheese for diverse flavor profiles.
  • Ensure biscuits are well-sealed to avoid bursting during air frying, using moistened fingertips to press edges firmly.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer’s performance, checking at 6 minutes to avoid over-browning.
