In keeping with sweet surprises, this recipe also deals with an ooey, gooey Nutella-based center. This time, however, you get the addition of crisp, buttery pastry! This recipe calls for frozen pastry, which definitely saves on time and frustration, but if you have the time and a perfect pastry recipe of your own, go for it – it can only improve an already flawless treat.

Ingredients:
1 box of frozen puff pastry
1 cup Nutella
2 bananas, sliced or your choice of fruit
Egg wash (recipe follows)
¼ cup of confectioner sugar (for dusting)
¼ cup of chocolate, melted (for drizzling)
Egg wash (1 egg and 1 tablespoon water, well beaten)

Directions:
Line bake sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. Heat oven to 450 degrees F.

Thaw frozen puff pastry according to instructions on the box. Fill a pastry bag or Ziploc bag with Nutella and cut the corner for piping.

Once the puff pastry is thawed cut out 4 inch squares. Pipe Nutella in the shape of a triangle on puff pastry, place banana slices on top and then pipe a second layer of Nutella on top of that. Using a brush or your fingers spread a layer of egg wash along all four edges. Fold square into a triangle by pulling diagonally opposite corner towards one another. Using a fork, press edges together to seal. Finish with a final brushing of egg wash on top of the pastry. Bake at 450 degrees for approximately 10-12 minutes or until tops are golden.

Use a small sieve and dust the tops with confectioner sugar and then drizzle melted chocolate to finish.
