Golden, crispy crescent dough filled with warm, gooey Nutella! These Air Fryer Nutella Bombs, dusted with cinnamon sugar, are quick, irresistible dessert bites. Complete instructions & nutrition.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup Nutella
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the dough and filling. Unroll the can of crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 individual triangles. Place about 1 tablespoon of Nutella onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
  2. Step 2: Form the bombs. Carefully fold the wide end of the dough over the Nutella, then roll it tightly towards the pointed end. Pinch and seal all seams completely to form a compact ball, ensuring no Nutella can leak out during cooking.
  3. Step 3: Air fry the bombs. Lightly spray your air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Place the Nutella bombs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed, flipping halfway through if necessary for even browning. Work in batches if needed.
  4. Step 4: Coat and serve. While the bombs are still warm, brush them generously with the melted butter. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll each buttered bomb in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Serve immediately for the best gooey chocolate experience.

Notes

  • For any rare leftovers, pop them into an airtight container at room temperature; they'll stay delightful for a day or two, but truly shine straight from the air fryer.
  • To bring back that warm, gooey magic, a quick 2-3 minute reheat in your air fryer at 300°F (150°C) will do the trick, or a brief 10-15 second microwave burst for immediate gratification.
  • For an extra indulgent experience, serve these warm bombs alongside a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream, perhaps with an extra drizzle of Nutella.
  • The ultimate chef's secret for truly 'bomb' results is a meticulous seal; spend an extra moment pinching every seam tightly to prevent any delicious Nutella escapes during air frying.
