1 tablespoon water (combine with egg)

# Let's Cook:
01 -
Turn your oven on to preheat at 375°F (190°C). Lay parchment paper on a baking sheet.
02 -
Flatten the puff pastry (make sure it’s not cold!) and cut it into hearts using a knife or cookie cutter.
03 -
Move the heart-shaped pieces onto the lined baking tray and put them in the fridge for 10 minutes so the shape holds firm.
04 -
Spread a tablespoon of Nutella right in the center of half of the hearts, leaving the edges clear.
05 -
Cover each Nutella layer with another heart-shaped pastry. Close up the edges by pressing together, and if you’d like, use a fork to crimp them.
06 -
Whip together an egg and some water, and gently brush the mixture over the pastries. This makes them bake to a nice golden brown.
07 -
Put everything in the oven for about 15-18 minutes until they puff up and turn golden. Allow them to cool a little before serving.
08 -
Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top and add berries or whipped cream if you’d like. Eat and enjoy!
