Ingredients
- 1 puff pastry sheet (thawed)
- 1/2 cup of hazelnut spread
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- dash of milk
- dash of vanilla
How To Make Easy Hazelnut Spread Turnovers
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare – First things first, preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This will ensure our turnovers bake evenly and don’t stick to the pan.
Step 2: Unfold the Puff Pastry and Cut – Carefully unroll your puff pastry sheet. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry sheets into squares of your desired size. This will depend on how big or small you want your turnovers to be.
Step 3: Dollop the Hazelnut Goodness – Now comes the best part – dolloping the hazelnut goodness! At this point, take a spoonful of hazelnut spread and place it in the center of each puff pastry square. Be generous but leave enough space around the edges to seal the turnovers. Sprinkle hazelnut spread with chopped peanuts.
Step 4: Seal and Shape – Using a pastry brush or your finger, lightly brush the edges of each puff pastry square with water. This will act as glue to seal the turnovers. Top each square with another square, enclosing the hazelnut spread filling. Press down gently on the edges to secure them.
Step 5: Crimp the Edges and Vent – To give our turnovers that classic pastry look, use a fork to crimp the edges of each square. Simply press the tines of the fork along the sealed edges to create a decorative pattern. Using your sharp knife cut a slit in the top of the pastry to allow for venting.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection – Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet and pop them into the preheated oven and bake them for 12-15 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown. Be sure to keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent any over-browning. Baking times will depend on the size of your turnovers.

Step 7: Cool and Whip up Glaze – Once baked to perfection, remove the turnovers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet. While waiting for the turnovers to cool, mix up glaze. In a small bowl add powdered sugar and a dash of milk and vanilla. Continue to mix until a smooth glaze forms.
Step 8: Drizzle with Glaze and top with Nuts – Carefully drizzle with glaze and after that top with nuts once pastries are cooled. The glaze and nuts add an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
