Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1 cup Nutella
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your Nutella Banana Crescent Ring bakes evenly and turns golden brown.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This will prevent the crescent rolls from sticking and make for easy cleanup.
- Open the can of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it onto a clean, flat surface. Do not separate the triangles yet; you will need to form a ring.
- Arrange the crescent roll dough in a circular shape on the baking sheet, overlapping the wide ends of each triangle to create a ring. The points of the triangles should be facing outward, creating a star-like shape in the center.
- Spread 1 cup of Nutella evenly over the dough in the center of the ring, leaving the points of the triangles free for folding later.
- Evenly distribute the sliced bananas over the Nutella layer. Make sure the banana slices are spread out to ensure each bite has a taste of banana.
- Fold the points of the crescent roll triangles over the Nutella and banana filling, tucking them under the dough to seal the filling inside. This will create a beautiful ring shape.
- Brush the top of the crescent ring with the beaten egg. This will give the ring a nice golden color as it bakes.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Once baked, remove the crescent ring from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Before serving, dust the top of the Nutella Banana Crescent Ring with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
- Slice the ring into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Nutella Banana Crescent Ring!
Tips
- Choose ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and easier spreading.
- Make sure your Nutella is at room temperature for smooth, even application.
- Don't stretch the crescent dough too thin when forming the ring to prevent tearing.
- For a glossy finish, use a pastry brush to apply the egg wash evenly.
- Let the ring cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar to prevent melting.
- Serve warm for the most gooey and delectable experience.
- For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of additional Nutella.
- If you want a more decorative look, use a knife to create slight scoring on the top of the ring before baking.
