3. Cut the pastry circles  

Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the thawed pastry dough. You’ll need an even number of circles.

4. Assemble the bottoms  

Place half of the pastry circles on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Spread Nutella on each one, then sprinkle with grated almond paste.

5. Add the tops  

Cover each filled circle with a second pastry circle. Press the edges together with a fork. Cut a small slit in the top of each pastry, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with sugar.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Thaw the pastry dough at room temperature just until it’s easy to work with. Too warm and it’ll get sticky, too cold and it might crack.
  • Roll out the sheets of dough slightly with a rolling pin if you want thinner, crispier pastry.
  • A cookie cutter or the rim of a glass works great for shaping the circles. A pizza cutter can help if you want to cut equal squares instead.
  • Use a pastry brush to apply your egg wash for that perfect golden finish.
  • Grate the almond paste using a cheese grater so it sprinkles easily.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even browning.
  • Let the Nutella sit at room temperature so it spreads more easily across the pastry.
  • Don’t skip the small slit on top—it helps the steam escape so your pastries stay flaky.

Substitutions and Variations

  • If you don’t have almond paste, you can use marzipan, sunflower seed butter paste, cashew nut or peanut butter paste, or hazelnut or pecan paste.
  • Dust with powdered sugar after baking.
  • Add thin slices of sweet bananas nside each pastry.
  • Make minis using a smaller cookie cutter. They’re great for parties.
  • This works with homemade puff pastry if you have time, but store-bought puff pastry is the best way to keep it quick.

  2. Oh, my goodness, your Almond Nutella Pastries look sooo scrumptious. I love Nutella and having just baked up my dessert for the challenge, my enthusiasm for puffed pastry is renewed =)

    BTW. Didn’t realize the photo of my contribution to the Dessert Challenge and link back to my site couldn’t be included later after posting as in other groups.
    Love to have you take a peek at The Ninja Baker’s Petite Almond Puffs.

  17. You have sold me! I’ve never used almond paste before but I can almost taste it. I think it would really complement the nutella, which is strong on its own, but I like something else to cut through the sweetness.
