Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 pound puff pastry
Filling
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
Egg Wash & Topping
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 egg white
- 2 tbsp coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the turnovers evenly and achieving a golden crust.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Thaw the puff pastry according to package instructions. If it isn’t pre-rolled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 5×5 inch squares, then cut into eight equal squares.
- Add Filling: Spread 2 tablespoons of Nutella in the center of each pastry square. Then, add approximately 12 mini marshmallows evenly over the Nutella to create a gooey sweet center.
- Make Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water to form the egg wash, which helps seal and glaze the turnovers.
- Seal Turnovers: Brush the edges of each square lightly with the egg wash. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle or rectangular turnover, pressing gently along the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges securely to prevent leakage during baking.
- Glaze and Sugar Topping: Brush the tops of the sealed turnovers with remaining egg wash. Sprinkle coarse sugar evenly on top to add a sweet crunch when baked.
- Arrange for Baking: Place turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them at least 1 inch apart to allow even cooking and browning.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and lightly browned around the edges, indicating they are cooked through and crispy.
Notes
- Ensure that puff pastry is properly thawed but still cold before rolling to maintain its flakiness.
- You can substitute Nutella with any chocolate-hazelnut spread of your choice.
- For variation, try adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon along with the marshmallows.
- Use a silicone brush for applying egg wash evenly without using too much liquid.
- Let the turnovers cool for a few minutes after baking as the filling will be very hot and gooey.
