Nutella Tarts Are The Perfect Sweet Treat.
This recipe makes a perfect dessert for any party or even just a special treat for yourself.
What is Nutella Tarts
In Australia, Nutella Tarts is a popular dessert and one you can find in most bakeries. Nutella Tarts is a simple recipe that uses only three ingredients: puff pastry, Nutella, and sprinkles. It’s easy to see why it’s so popular—who doesn’t love chocolate? However if you’re not keen on the idea of eating your dessert from a cupcake liner (it does taste better with real plates), here’s another option: make mini individual tarts for each person at the table instead!
With a smooth and creamy Nutella covering, these Nutella Tarts have a buttery biscuit base that is aromatic. These are the ideal complement to any tea table, especially for lovers of Nutella and chocolate! They are double baked as adorable small cookies! Sincerely, I have no idea what to call them. Piped Nutella Cookies is another name for these cookies.
Ingredients
- Nutella
- Heavy cream
- Eggs
- Sugar (I used powdered but granulated will work too)
- Vanilla extract (I used 1 tsp.)
- Salt (I used fine salt, but regular will do)
- Banana (ripe or not ripe is fine—I’ve made it both ways)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the tart shells on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the tart shells cool completely.
- Fill each shell with Nutella spread and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Cooking Notes
- Bake the tart shells for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the tart shells cool completely before filling.
- Fill each shell with 1/4 cup of Nutella.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve (you can make these ahead of time). Serve with whipped cream and a dusting of powdered sugar on top if desired!
Pro Tip
- To make your life easier, use a piping bag to fill the tarts with the whipped cream.
- Place the tarts in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Top each tart with banana slices and drizzle with melted Nutella; top each tart with sea salt flakes before serving (or just sprinkle on top after you’re done eating).
- Nutella may burn or lose its flavor at high temperatures, making baking with it difficult. However, since it would be goopy and sticky, piping the Nutella on top directly will also be impractical. Therefore, the best approach to cure the Nutella is to bake it again.
- The Nutella is fixed, enabling the piped Nutella to solidify properly while preserving the ornamental forms. If you don’t feel like it, just spread some Nutella on top of the cookies or dip them if you like!
Add, ins and Variations
- Add fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries.
- Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
- Dust with powdered sugar.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top of each tart before serving.
- Sprinkle cinnamon over the top of each tart before serving.
- Dust lightly with nutmeg (or any other spice you prefer) and serve immediately!
Nutella Tarts is best to serve with
- With coffee: If you’re a huge fan of the combination of Nutella and coffee, this is the dessert for you.

You can also enjoy Nutella Tarts as part of a healthy breakfast or afternoon snack by adding fruit like bananas and strawberries!
Bake the Tart Shells & let them cool completely. Fill each shell with the Nutella & refrigerate until ready to serve. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form & add 2 Tablespoons of sugar.
