Banana and Hazelnut Chocolate Puff Pastry Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought, thawed if frozen)
  • 2 medium ripe bananas
  • 3–4 tbsp chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • 2 tbsp chopped hazelnuts (optional, for crunch)

    • Spread an even layer of hazelnut chocolate spread over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
    • Slice bananas into thin rounds and arrange them evenly on top.
    • Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts if using.
  3. Roll it up
    • Carefully roll the pastry sheet into a log, starting from the long edge.
    • Slice the roll into 2–3 cm wide pieces (like pinwheels).
  4. Bake
    • Place the rolls flat on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
    • Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
    • Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  5. Cool & serve
