Hey! For those of you who are visiting my blog for the first time, my name is Emily and I make dumplings and host dumpling parties. What is a dumpling party? I make the filling, teach you how to fold and then cook dumplings for you while you enjoy!
Unfortunately due to our quarantines my parties are halted! So I am here to share my recipes online and offer virtual dumpling parties to everyone who is interested. Reach out to me at emily@misslippes.com if you are interested in having a virtual dumpling party!
Now, time for Nutella dumplings. I cannot remember exactly how or when I first started making Nutella dumplings. My best guess is that I was folding up dumplings at a party and we ran out of meat but still had a lot of extra wraps. With those extra wraps we probably filled it with Nutella and fried them up and realized that this was brilliant. Who doesn’t love fried dough with Nutella inside?? I love to add these into a party as a fun treat at the end. They are so easy to make and you can add anything extra in addition to the Nutella. Love strawberries? Add them. Love peanut butter? Add it. Mix in whatever you love with your Nutella! They take just a few steps to make and you will love the results.
Ingredients:
1 tube of crescent rolls (you could also use regular dumpling wraps or a tube of cinnamon roll dough)
1 cup Nutella
1 cup filling of your choice (strawberries, raspberries, peanut butter, almond butter, pumpkin pie.. etc)
2 cups oil (peanut, grapeseed, or canola)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions:
Open the tube of crescent rolls, take each triangle and split it into three parts and roll it into small balls
Then take each ball and roll them out into flat round circles about the size of your palm
Put about a half teaspoon of Nutella with your filling of choice in the center of the dough
Fold the dumpling together and press all of the air out and seal completely
Continue until you have all of the dumplings folded
Heat the oil in a small pan
Place a few dumplings in the oil at the same time, just make sure they aren’t touching
Cook for a few minutes until golden brown, turn a few time as necessary
Take the dumplings out and place on a paper towel to drain the oil
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top and enjoy!
**Modification** If you don’t want to deep fry your dumplings, I totally get it! Since these are crescent rolls you can also bake them. Just follow the instructions on the tube for baking. You may not want to bake them quite as long since they will be smaller than the regular crescent roll, so just keep the light on in your oven and take them out when they are golden brown!
