Ingredients

Scale

Pastry and Filling

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1/4 cup Nutella
1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Egg Wash

1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon milk

Toppings

1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares, approximately 4×4 inches each.
Fill the Pastries: Spread about 1 tablespoon of Nutella on one half of each pastry square. Carefully place a few fresh raspberries on top, avoiding overfilling to prevent leaking during cooking.
Seal the Pastries: Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal completely, ensuring the filling stays inside.
Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together until fully combined. Use a pastry brush to gently coat the tops of each pastry to encourage a glossy, golden finish.
Sprinkle Sugar: Lightly sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over the top of each pastry to add sweetness and a crunchy texture.
Air Fry the Pastries: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. Place pastries in a single layer in the basket without touching each other. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown, checking halfway through.
Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the pastries and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Optionally dust with powdered sugar before serving. These are delicious served warm, alone or with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Ensure the edges of the puff pastry are well sealed to prevent Nutella and raspberry filling from leaking during cooking.
Use a light hand with the egg wash to avoid soggy pastry tops; an even thin coat is best for browning.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket—work in batches if necessary for even cooking and proper puffing.
Let the pastries cool slightly before eating to allow the filling to set and avoid burns.
Adjust sugar sprinkling to taste; use a small sieve for an even, light dusting without clumps.
Experiment with other fillings like cream cheese or seasonal fruits for variations.
