These nutella puff pastry pinwheels are such an easy treat to pull together at a moments notice. They can be made in just 15 minutes in the air fryer, or 25 minutes in the oven.
These chocolate pinwheels remind me of a chocolate croissant, but require much less effort to make! Sprinkle them with icing sugar (powdered sugar) to serve alongside a cup of tea or coffee. Delicious!

INSTRUCTIONS

To cook in the air fryer - Place pinwheels in the air fryer basket and cook on 180C / 350F for 10 minutes, or until golden and flaky.
Place cooked pinwheels on a wire rack to cool completely, then sift icing sugar / powdered sugar on top and serve.
TOP TIPS
If you’re cooking in the air fryer be sure to check in on your pinwheels a few minutes before the suggested cooking time finishes. Some air fryers are more powerful than others and you don’t want to overcook your pinwheels. If you’re wanting to serve these to guests and get a lovely deep golden colour on the puff pastry I’d suggest brushing the outside of the pinwheels with a simple egg wash first. I never do this because it makes no difference to taste and seems like a waste of an egg, but they can be paler in colour when you cook them in the oven without an egg wash. I put a chocolate drizzle on the pinwheels for the photos, and you can do this to either by making your nutella more liquid in the microwave (just zap for 20 sec intervals), or melting down a chocolate block and drizzling over.
