1 Video | Photo: Petite Nutella Pochettes Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
- Water, as needed
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- Special equipment: 3-inch fluted biscuit cutter
Directions
In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, cream the butter and cream cheese together until light and creamy. Add the flour slowly until the dough forms. Do not over-mix! Shape the dough into a ball and cover. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
On a lightly-floured surface, using a lightly-floured rolling pin, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch fluted biscuit cutter, cut out as many circles as you can. Form the scraps into a ball and reroll to make more circles.
Fill each dough circle with a small spoonful of the chocolate-hazelnut spread. Dip your finger in tap water and spread on the edge of half the circle to help create a seal. Fold the dough over to create a crescent. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Cool, then sift the confectioners' sugar on top and serve.

This was a strange little doughy number. I had such high hopes for this recipe because, well, butter, cream cheese, nutella -- what's not to like? I was really disappointed in the end product, however. The little crescents tasted too much like bland dough and nothing else. My nutella-loving daughter tried them and said they were "just alright." She only ate two, and after two days I've now thrown the rest out. Ultimately, for me, these weren't worth the effort or the calories (If I want to indulge in a sweet treat, I want it to be spectacular. These weren't.

Hello and Hafa Adai from the beautiful island of Guam, U.S.A., "Where Americas Day Begins!" I've used numerous of your recipes in the past and I'm happy to review that they all have passed my "picky palate." This recipe was easy and works well with both sweet & savory fillings. I prepared three batches, the first with Nutella, the second with Orange Marmalade and the last with left over BBQ steak (we love BBQ'ing here on island ...all which came out delicious! Also, I love that most of your recipes contain ingredients that are common pantry and fridge foods! We have been cheering you on since your debut on Food Network. Thanks Melissa!

Positively to 'die for'. Light and flaky and once you get to the Nutella you've gone to Heaven.
