Easter Pastry Bunnies with Nutella and Mascarpone Honey Cream
Easter bunnies made with puff pastry filled with Nutella make a delicious dessert idea that the children absolutely adore!
I told the kids I was going to prepare a surprise for them, without giving them more details, and yesterday, when they came home from school and kindergarten, they were simply blown away by the cuteness of the bunnies, but especially by the taste! I mean, they’re made from puff pastry and Nutella! What’s not to love about this combination?
The bunnies are ready in 30 minutes, including baking, and you only need one package of puff pastry and two to three large spoons of Nutella. Roll out the puff pastry, spread Nutella over half of the sheet widthwise, overlap with the other half and cut into 2.5×30 cm (1 x 12 inch) strips.
Roll out the strips, place them in the baking pan, brush with egg, sprinkle with granulated sugar and bake at 185°C/ 365° F for 15-17 minutes. For the cuteness, pop on the bunny tail made of whipped cream or mascarpone cream with honey (the same cream as the one used for the pistachio cake). I don’t know of an Easter dessert that is easier to make. So quick, easy to make, and has great effect!
Tip: you can replace Nutella with this homemade sugar-free Nutella recipe.
A must try with and for the kids! You’re welcome. 😊
