❤️ Why This Recipe Works
- They're easy! Seriously, the easiest waffles ever.
- They're simple. They use only 2 ingredients!
- The Nutella doesn't get lost in the batter. These waffles contain a decadent, delicious layer of Nutella in the middle so you get to enjoy a mouthful of the delicious chocolate stuff with every bite!
- The puff pastry exterior creates a light, flaky, and buttery crust. They are a little like waffle turnovers.
🍫 Ingredients
- 1 box frozen puff pastry. 17.3 ounce box, 2 sheets per box.
- ¼ cup Nutella.
📝 Instructions
Use a pizza cutter or pastry wheel to cut the pastry into squares to fit your waffle iron. For our waffle iron, we cut four 4 by 4 inch squares.
If you have a round waffle iron, measure the inside diameter of your waffle iron and draw a circle on a piece of paper to use as a template. Then use the template to cut a circle in the pastry. I recommend further cutting the circle into fourths to make the pasty easier to handle.
Repeat for second sheet of pastry.

🥄 Equipment
- Waffle maker.
- Pizza cutter. If you have a pastry wheel, that's great. We don't, so I just used our trusty pizza cutter.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
These are so delicious on their own that you don't need to drizzle them with syrup. If you decide to go for it, might I suggest our homemade blueberry, raspberry, or mixed berry syrup? Any one of them would taste amazing with these Nutella stuffed waffles. This homemade strawberry compote would be wonderful also. We went simple with ours and just added a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries.

- Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Then carefully lay pastry squares (or prepared pastry for round waffle iron) on top of the hot grates. Please be careful with this step because the waffle iron is very hot!
- Place 1 tablespoon of Nutella on top of each pastry square. Allow to heat for about 30 seconds to soften the Nutella.
- Use the back of a spoon to spread the Nutella to within ½ inch of the edges of pastry squares.
- Top Nutella with remaining pastry squares and cook according to manufacturer's instructions for light waffles. Do not overcook these. They are done when the pastry is lightly browned, flaky, and no longer soft. The time it takes will vary according to your waffle iron.
