Ingredients:

1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand Biscuits (the regular, not flaky layers kind)
1 cup Nutella (approximately 280g)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted (this is about 1 stick or 113g)
¼ cup confectioners’ sugar, for dusting (around 31g)

Preparing Your Nutella Bombs

Step 1: Get Your Biscuits Ready

The first step to creating these delightful Air Fryer Nutella Bombs is to prepare your biscuits. Open the can of Pillsbury Grand Biscuits. Make sure you’re using the standard, homestyle variety, not the flaky layers, as the denser texture will hold the Nutella filling better. Carefully separate the 8 biscuit dough rounds. For each biscuit, gently flatten it out with your hands or a rolling pin into a disc that’s about 4-5 inches in diameter. You want it thin enough to enclose the Nutella, but not so thin that it tears. Don’t worry about perfect circles; charmingly rustic is the name of the game here.

Step 2: Stuffing Them with Nutella Goodness

Now for the star of the show – the Nutella! For each flattened biscuit disc, place a generous tablespoon of Nutella right in the center. It’s important not to overfill, otherwise, the Nutella will ooze out during the cooking process. Aim for a good dollop that won’t create too much pressure when you seal the biscuit. Once you have your Nutella mound on the biscuit, carefully gather the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the Nutella, pinching them together securely at the top to form a senon-alcoholic aled ball. Ensure there are no gaps or tears, as this is crucial to keeping all that molten chocolate hazelnut deliciousness inside. Gentnon-alcoholic aleroll the sealed ball between your palms to make it smooth and round. Repeat this process for all 8 biscuits.

Step 3: Buttering Them Up for the Air Fryer

Before they go into the air fryer, we need to give these stuffed biscuits a nice coating. In a small bowl, melt your ½ cup of unsalted butter. You can do this in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or on the stovetop over low heat. Once melted and smooth, it’s time to brush each Nutella-filled biscuit ball generously with the melted butter. Make sure to coat the entire surface. This butter coating will help them achieve a beautiful golden-brown color and a slightly crispy exterior in the air fryer, making them utterly irresistible.

Step 4: Air Frying to Golden Perfection

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This temperature is key to cooking the biscuits through without burning them. Carefully arrange the buttered Nutella bombs in a single layer in your air fryer basket. It’s important not to overcrowd the basket; you want them to have enough space for the hot air to circulate evenly around each one. You might need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Air fry for 7-9 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, especially during the last few minutes, as air fryers can vary in their cooking times. You’re looking for them to be puffed up and a lovely golden-brown color.

Step 5: The Final Touch – A Sweet Dusting

Once your Air Fryer Nutella Bombs are done and have emerged from the air fryer looking beautifully golden and puffy, let them cool in the basket for just a minute or two. They will be very hot, and that gooey Nutella inside is molten! Transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly further. This is the perfect time for the final, elegant touch: dusting them with confectioners’ sugar. Sift the ¼ cup of confectioners’ sugar evenly over the warm Nutella bombs. The warmth of the biscuits will slightly melt the sugar, creating a lovely, delicate coating that adds just the right amount of sweetness. Serve them warm and enjoy the explosive flavor!

FAQs:

Can I make Air Fryer Nutella Bombs ahead of time?

While they are best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the dough and portion out the Nutella fillings and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before air frying. Ensure the dough is at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before cooking for optimal results.

What happens if the Nutella leaks out while cooking?

A little leakage is okay, but significant leakage might mean the dough wasn’t senon-alcoholic aled properly. Make sure to pinch the edges of the dough firmly to create a good seal around the Nutella filling. If some leaks out, it will still be delicious!
