Ingredients:
- 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 6 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: Melted chocolate and chopped hazelnuts for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- Roll out the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Add the Filling:
- Spread 1 tablespoon of chocolate hazelnut spread near the wider end of each triangle.
- Roll the Croissants:
- Starting from the wider end, roll the dough toward the pointed tip to form a croissant shape.
- Brush with Egg Wash:
- Place the croissants on a parchment-lined tray and brush them with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Arrange the croissants in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 8–10 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
- Garnish and Serve:

Notes:
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes.
- Variations: Add banana slices or marshmallows to the filling for extra indulgence.
- Tip: Seal the edges of the dough slightly to prevent the filling from oozing out.
