These vegan friendly Nutella Puff Pastry Swirls are simple and easy to make! All you’ll need is a sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry, chopped hazelnuts (optional) and the famous chocolate hazelnut spread (a vegan version, of course!).
Ingredients you’ll need to make these Nutella Puff Pastry Swirls:
2 sheets of puff pastry – I use Jus-Rol Gluten-free Puff Pastry. This pastry is AMAZING! It’s light and flakey, you wouldn’t be able to tell if vegan, let alone gluten-free as well! I highly recommend. I pick it up in Sainsbury’s.
1 jar of vegan Nutella – You are more than welcomed to make your own, homemade vegan ‘Nutella’, but for ease, I like to use Natures Store ‘Hazelnut and cocoa Spread‘. BEST VEGAN NUTELLA! It’s creamy, filled with roasted hazelnuts and has that iconic ‘Nutella’ flavour, whilst being 100% vegan and dairy-free! It’ll make these Nutella Puff Pastry Swirls irresistible.
You can find both these products in most UK supermarkets!
Top tips for making these Nutella Puff Pastry Swirls:
- Use ready to roll puff pastry, it will save you so much time!
- Roll the pastry as tight as possible. Doing this will produce gorgeous, neat swirls.
- Before rolling, brush some dairy-free milk around the edges of the pastry. This will help the pastry stick to itself, and keep in its log formation.
- If you have time, chill the dough for 5 minutes before use. This will make it easier to roll and cut, making for beautiful swirls.
- If the dough is too sticky, use some plain flour.
- To cut the dough, use string! It’s the same method I use as cutting out cinnamon rolls. It works out perfectly each time. Watch the tutorial here.
- Before baking, brush some dairy-free milk all over the swirls. This will give them a golden brown colour when baked. It also makes them a little crispier on the edges which is delicious!

Nutella Puff Pastry Swirls
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: A dozen
- Diet: Vegan
Description
These tempting pastry swirls look like they’re difficult to make…but they’re not! They feature vegan Nutella, rolled up in flakey vegan & gluten-free puff pastry. You’ll be going back for seconds.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets of vegan / gluten-free puff pastry.
- 1 jar of vegan ‘Nutella’
- Chopped hazelnuts (optional)
- Dairy-free milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220°C fan and line 2 large baking trays with grease proof paper.
- Unroll the pastry sheet leaving the baking paper underneath. This will prevent sticking. Use a rolling pin to slightly flatten out any wrinkles in the pastry. Dust over some flour if the pastry is too sticky.
- Spread 3 – 4 tablespoons of vegan ‘Nutella’ over one half of the pastry sheet, leaving the other half plain.
- Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts (optional) over the ‘Nutella’ and press them down slightly to stick.
- Lift up the plain pastry, and fold over, on top of the ‘Nutella’ to create a parcel.
- Roll into a log. Watch the tutorial here.
- Using some long / thin string or a sharp, serrated knife, cut the pastry roll into 2 inch rounds (as thick as you’d like them).
- Place on the baking tray, spread 2 inches apart (as they will spread / puff up).
- Brush the tops and sides of each swirl with some dairy-free milk. This will help get a gorgeous golden colour to the pastry, along with making them extra flakey.
- Sprinkle with more chopped hazelnuts (optional).
- Place the tray one at a time in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes or until the pastry is golden in colour.
- Once fully baked, remove the tray from the oven and place the other tray in to bake and repeat.
- Allow to cool slightly, then serve with a dusting of icing sugar.
