Puff-Pastry Waffle Hearts (Puffles) image

These little tickers hide a deeply tasty secret: They're actually pockets made from store-bought puff pastry that are stuffed with chocolate-hazelnut spread. Whip up your own batch of "puffles" for Valentine's Day (or any day, really), and serve your hearts on a platter.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
1 sheet (about 14 ounces) all-butter puff pastry, such as Dufour, thawed completely in refrigerator
1/4 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread, such as Nutella
Strawberries, halved if large, and warmed pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat a nonstick waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out pastry to flatten creases; cut in half crosswise.
  • Dollop chocolate-hazelnut spread by the teaspoon onto one piece of dough, spaced 2 inches from edges of dough and 2 inches apart. Brush between dollops with water, then top with second piece of dough, pressing gently between dollops to seal.
  • Center a 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter over dollops and stamp out shapes. Freeze 5 minutes. Cook in waffle iron until puffed and golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Serve with strawberries and syrup.
