Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 cup (240 ml) Nutella
Chocolate Components:
- ½ cup (85 g) white chocolate melts
- ¼ cup (45 g) chocolate melts
Decorative Topping:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sprinkles
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet for the pastry creation.
- Carefully unroll pie crusts and transform them into precise 3×4 inch rectangular shapes, potentially re-rolling dough scraps to maximize yield.
- Lavish eight rectangles with smooth, velvety Nutella, ensuring a clean half-inch border remains untouched around each pastry’s perimeter.
- Gently crown each Nutella-laden rectangle with a matching plain pastry piece, delicately sealing edges using fingertips and creating decorative fork crimps.
- Position assembled tarts onto the prepared baking sheet, strategically cutting small ventilation slits across each surface to prevent potential steam buildup.
- Roast the pastries in the preheated oven for approximately 20-22 minutes until they achieve a delicate golden-brown complexion.
- Allow tarts to rest momentarily on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack, enabling complete temperature reduction.
- Melt white and dark chocolate separately, then gracefully drape white chocolate across the cooled pastry surfaces.
- Transfer melted dark chocolate into a ziplock bag, snip a tiny corner, and artfully drizzle intricate chocolate patterns over the white chocolate base.
- While chocolate remains glossy, generously scatter festive sprinkles across the tarts, creating a whimsical finish.
- Permit chocolate to solidify completely before storing the delectable treats in an airtight container.
Notes
- Prep Ahead: Gather all ingredients and tools before starting to ensure a smooth baking experience.
- Dough Handling: Work with cold pie crusts for easier cutting and shaping, preventing tearing and crumbling.
- Sealing Technique: Use a fork to crimp edges firmly, creating a tight seal that prevents Nutella from leaking during baking.
- Ventilation Matters: Small slits on top allow steam to escape, preventing soggy or puffy pop tarts.
- Chocolate Drizzling: Use a zip-lock bag with a tiny corner snipped for precise and mess-free chocolate decoration.
- Storage Tip: Keep pop tarts in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and texture.
