Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 1 (18 ounce) package all-butter puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 large egg, beaten for egg wash

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a half baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Step 2

    Place cream cheese, sugar, and orange zest in a medium sized mixing bowl

    Whisk the whole egg in a small bowl.

  • Step 5

    Generously sprinkle flour over the work surface. Unfold one section of the puff pastry and roll it out to a 8x8-inch square.

  • Step 6

    Cut the puff pastry into 4, 4-inch squares. Fold a square in half on the diagonal, so it forms a triangle.

  • Step 7

  • Step 8

    Unfold the triangle and brush the puff pastry with the egg wash. Take the cut strip of one side of the square and fold it over so that the corner point of the square so it sits directly on top of the corner point of the smaller square. Brush the edges with egg wash. Repeat with the remaining triangles.

    Place the pastries on the baking sheet. Place 2-3 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each pastry.

  • Step 10

    Bake the pastries for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Move the pastries to a wire and let them cool to room temperature.
