    I love being in the kitchen making fun and easy treats with my daughter as she loves puff pastries especially when they are filled with her favorite chocolate spread. For the ultimate Nutella treat we love pairing it with a velvety Nutella shake.

    We have been making pastry hearts for a few years now and posted the process on Instagram a few years ago but never got around to putting it on the blog. So we thought it was about time we added our Nutella puff pastry recipe.

    We used ready-rolled puff pastry sheets as it makes the process easy and as we usually always have some to hand for those days when we don't have a lot of time and want to make a quick treat or meal like my puff pastry tomato tart, giant pop tart or steak bakes.

    Of course, if you have a favorite puff pastry recipe you can use that to make the heart puff pastry.

    • Puff pastry sheets- Use 2 x 280g ready-rolled puff pastry sheets that measure 350mm x 230mm as this makes the heart-shaped puff pastry fuss-free and so easy. I used Jus-Rol gluten free puff pastry. You can use regular puff pastry sheets if you don't require a gluten free pastry.

    • Egg - for egg-washing the pastry.
    • Powdered sugar - Optional for dusting.
