Ingredients
- 4 store-bought croissants (preferably plain or buttery)
- 1/4 cup Nutella (or hazelnut spread)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted, for brushing)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Equipment
- Air fryer
- Knife or spoon for spreading Nutella
- Pastry brush (optional, for butter)
- Small bowl (for melted butter)
- Plate for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Croissants: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cut each croissant in half lengthwise, creating a “pocket” for the filling.
- Spread Nutella: Gently spread a generous layer of Nutella inside each croissant half.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips into the Nutella spread, ensuring an even distribution.
- Assemble the Croissants: Place the filled croissants back together (top part over the Nutella and chocolate filling). Lightly press the edges to seal.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the croissants with melted butter to help them crisp up and develop a golden color.
- Air Fry: Place the croissants in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re not overcrowded. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the air fryer and let cool for a minute. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips
- You can use a store-bought chocolate hazelnut spread if you prefer a different spread than Nutella.
- For a richer flavor, try adding a few extra chocolate chips on top of the croissants before air frying.
- If you want to make them extra indulgent, drizzle some caramel sauce or whipped cream over the top after baking.
- Make sure to adjust the air frying time based on the size of your croissants and the power of your air fryer. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
