Heavenly Air Fryer Nutella Stuffed Churros

If you have a secret love for Churros, you have to try my Air Fryer Nutella Stuffed Churros! A puff pastry stuffed with rich and creamy Nutella cooked in your Air Fryer and then coated in a cinnamon sugar mix for the perfect amount of sweetness.

These churros are mouthwatering, tantalizing, succulent and I guarantee you won’t eat just one. The flavor of the Nutella and cinnamon is such a rich and warm spiced flavor, you will love the combination. 

When my husband was stationed in South Korea, I developed my infatuation and addiction to churros. A little corner shop was located down the road from my husband’s apartment that made the best churros I have ever tasted.

These churros were soft, the perfect blend of cinnamon and sugar and every bite made my heart swoon. The churros were made in front of my eyes and you just can’t get more fresh than that. 

Now that we don’t live there anymore, I had to get creative. I wanted something that would hit my churro craving but I also didn’t want to totally replicate what we had in South Korea.

So I decided to combine another ingredient my kids like – Nutella. My homemade stuffed Nutella churros hit the spot and help me  to get my fix. This recipe is so easy to make and satisfies my churro cravings. 

 

Air Fryer Nutella Stuffed Churros 

I am loving the capabilities of my Air Fryer to create these churros because it gives me that deep-fried taste without the excess oil. This is a healthier alternative to deep-frying.

The Air Fryer cooks by circulating high heat all around the food. It cooks at a nice speed and gives the crispy texture similar to pulling food out of the deep fryer. It has been a really nice kitchen appliance to own for our deep-fried cravings. 

Puff Pastry Nutella Stuffed Churros 

The awesome perk of this recipe is you can use store-bought puff pastry found in the freezer section. This pastry makes whipping up these churros incredibly easy. Assemble a bunch of your churros, pop them into your Air Fryer, let them cook, and then roll in your cinnamon and sugar.

They can be a little messy to make if you don’t watch where you sit the spoon you use for the Nutella, but they are worth it. Plus serving with a dipping sauce of Nutella or even whipped cream makes the churros even more luxurious. 

You can even get creative with the filling you use for these churros. I love the Nutella paired with it, but you can always toss in some fruit, peanut butter, chocolate chips, etc. It truly is a versatile recipe. We like to spend an evening making these together as a family and then enjoying the finished product together. Happy baking!

Instructions

1. Lay one thawed puff pastry sheet on a floured work surface.                  
2. Cut into 6 rectangles.                                                                                                                                                       
3. Spread 1 tablespoon of Nutella on one end of each rectangle.                                                                           
4. Roll up the rectangle, and pinch the sides to keep the Nutella enclosed. Repeat with the other puff pastry sheet.                                                                                                                                                                  
5. Put the roll up puff pastry in the air fryer and air fry at 400F for 5 minutes.                                                      
6. While the puff pastry is air frying, melt the butter in the microwave. Place the sugar and the cinnamon in a shallow dish and whisk it well to make cinnamon sugar.                                                                                   
7. White the Nutella stuffed pastries are still hot, brush melted butter on each of them and roll them in cinnamon sugar. Keep aside.                                                                                                                                        
8. Serve warm with chocolate or Nutella sauce and whipped cream.
