Step-by-Step Instructions
Preparation Steps
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step ensures the rolls do not stick.
2. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Combine until smooth. If it is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk until creamy.
3. Roll out 1 sheet of thawed puff pastry on a floured surface. Smooth any creases. Cut the pastry into rectangles, about 3 inches by 5 inches.
4. Spread a layer of Nutella (1/2 cup) on each rectangle. Leave a little border around the edges. Spoon the cream cheese mixture on top of the Nutella.
5. From one edge, roll the rectangle tightly to the other side. Pinch to seal the edges. Place the rolls seam side down on the baking sheet.
Baking the Rolls
1. Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg. This gives them a nice golden color.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. Look for a golden brown color and puffed-up rolls.
3. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. You can drizzle melted chocolate or sprinkle crushed hazelnuts on top for added flavor.

Tips & Tricks
Perfecting the Rolls
To make the best Nutella rolls, start with the cream cheese mix. It should be smooth. Use a mixer or a whisk. If you see lumps, keep mixing. A smooth blend makes a better filling.
Next, pay attention to your rolling technique. Start at one edge and roll tightly. If you roll too loosely, the filling might leak. Seal the edges with a pinch. This keeps all the yummy filling inside.
For a golden color, brush the tops with the beaten egg. This will give your rolls a nice shine. Bake them until they are puffed and golden. Keep an eye on the time, around 15 to 18 minutes is best.
Serving Suggestions
Presentation makes a big difference. Serve the Nutella rolls warm on a nice platter. Add a side of whipped cream for dipping. A drizzle of chocolate on top makes them look fancy.
For a fresh touch, add some mint leaves. They add color and a nice flavor. You can also suggest to folks to try different toppings. Crushed hazelnuts give a great crunch. These tips will make your Nutella rolls even more delightful!

Variations
Flavor Additions
Want to mix things up? You can use different spreads or fillings in your Nutella rolls. Try almond butter or peanut butter instead of Nutella. You can also add fresh fruit, like sliced bananas or strawberries, for a fruity twist. These flavors pair well with cream cheese and will surprise your taste buds.
For toppings, think beyond the usual. Crushed hazelnuts add a nice crunch. Drizzling melted chocolate on top makes the rolls even sweeter. You could also try whipped cream or a sprinkle of sea salt for contrast. Each of these options can make your Nutella rolls unique and fun!
Dietary Adjustments
If you need gluten-free options, look for gluten-free puff pastry. Many brands make this now, and it works just as well in the recipe. You can enjoy the same great taste without the gluten worries.
Want to adapt the recipe for a vegan diet? Swap the cream cheese for a dairy-free cream cheese. You can also replace the egg wash with a mixture of almond milk and a bit of cornstarch. This will help give your rolls a nice shine while keeping them vegan. There are so many ways to make these rolls fit your diet!
Storage Info
Storing Leftovers
To keep your Nutella rolls fresh, store them in an airtight container. This helps prevent them from drying out. You can place a piece of wax paper between layers to keep them from sticking. Keep the container in the fridge for up to three days.
When you’re ready to enjoy your rolls again, reheating them is simple. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolls on a baking sheet and warm them for about 10 minutes. This will bring back their crispy texture. You can also use a microwave, but the oven works best for keeping them crunchy.
Freezing Instructions
Freezing Nutella rolls is a great option if you want to save some for later. To prepare rolls for freezing, let them cool completely first. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for one hour. Once frozen, wrap each roll in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They will last for up to three months.
When you want to eat your frozen rolls, take them out and let them thaw in the fridge overnight. For a fresh-baked taste, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the rolls for about 15-20 minutes. This will help them puff up and regain their deliciousness. Enjoy your Nutella rolls warm and fresh!
FAQs
Common Questions

Troubleshooting
Rolls not puffing up – why?
If your rolls do not puff up, your oven may not be hot enough. Preheating is key. Also, ensure you rolled the pastry thin enough. Too thick can stop puffing.
What to do if the Nutella spills during baking?
If Nutella spills, don’t worry! Just let it bake. You can clean up the baking sheet later. To prevent spills, leave a small border when spreading Nutella.
