Nutella Hacks: Cookies, Pop Tarts, Brownies & Hot Chocolate
Discover four amazing ways to use Nutella: cookies, pop tarts, brownies, and hot chocolate.
Ingredients
- 100 g butter
- 113 g brown sugar
- 100 g sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 156 g flour
- 255 g Nutella
- 170 g butter melted
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 egg for brushing
- 1420 g Nutella
- 4 eggs
- 1 nearly empty Nutella jar
- 1 cup hot milk
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare the cookie dough and set aside. Prepare the chocolate chips by mixing the Nutella and melted butter in a bowl and then pouring the creamy mass on a pan lined with parchment paper. Freeze the pan for at least 1 hour and then use a large knife to cut the chocolate block into small baking chips. Stir about 3½ oz of the Nutella chocolate chips into the cookie dough, place portions of the chocolate chip cookie dough by the spoonful on a pan lined with parchment paper, and bake for 15 minutes. The rest of the Nutella baking chips can be stored in a resealable freezer bag in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut a sheet of puff pastry into 6 rectangular pieces. Place 3 strips of puff pastry on a pan lined with parchment paper and add a few of the Nutella baking chips to all the strips. Brush the sides of the strips with egg yolk and place another strip of puff pastry on top. Use a fork to create indents all around the pastries and brush another layer of egg over the top. Bake for 12 minutes and garnish with powdered sugar and raspberries.
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. To make the easiest brownies in the world, add the flour, Nutella, and eggs to a bowl and stir with a hand mixer. Pour the brownie batter in a greased pan and bake for 15 minutes.
- 1. If your Nutella jar is almost empty, but you can't stand the idea of letting some of the chocolate spread go to waste, just add some hot milk to the jar, secure the lid, and shake, shake, shake. Pour the hot chocolate into a glass and top it off with whipped cream.
