These Strawberry Nutella Puff Pastry Hearts are the easiest, most lovable way to celebrate Valentine’s Day—or any day you want something sweet and special. Flaky, buttery puff pastry wraps around warm Nutella and juicy strawberries, finished with a dusting of powdered sugar. They look bakery-fancy but come together in just 30 minutes, making them perfect for breakfast in bed, brunch, or a cozy dessert.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 pastries

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/4 cup Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 4–5 fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and gently roll to smooth creases.
  3. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out an even number of hearts.
  4. Place half of the hearts on the baking sheet. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of Nutella into the center of each, leaving a 1/4-inch border.
  5. Top Nutella with 2–3 thin strawberry slices.
  6. Brush the borders with egg wash, place remaining hearts on top, and press edges to seal. Crimp with a fork if desired.
  7. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
  8. Bake for 15–18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  9. Cool for 5–10 minutes, then dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold for the best rise and flakiest texture.
  • Do not overfill to prevent leaking during baking.
  • Strawberries should be patted dry to avoid soggy pastry.
  • Unbaked hearts can be frozen and baked straight from the freezer with a few extra minutes added.
