Ooey Gooey Nutella Rolls Recipe

Nutella Rolls – sweet rolls filled with creamy Nutella and chocolate chips, then drizzled with more Nutella. Chocolate fans of all ages will go crazy for these sweet rolls!

My mom taught me how to make cinnamon rolls when I was a teenager, and making sweet rolls has been a favorite of mine since then. Nowadays I am always looking for new flavor combinations for sweet rolls.

I came across a recipe for overnight nutella rolls at The Taylor house. Everyone in my family is crazy about Nutella, so I knew I needed to make them. We needed sweet rolls asap, so I did not do an overnight version.

I made a few other changes to the recipe, mainly the frosting. I figured why mess with frosting when you could just have straight Nutella. I figured if it’s good right out of the jar, it had to be pretty spectacular drizzled over a warm sweet roll. Oh baby, was it ever!

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE NUTELLA ROLLS

If you are familiar with the process of making cinnamon rolls, these are pretty similar. After you roll out your dough into a rectangle, you melt together some butter, chocolate chips, and of course Nutella. Just spread that chocolatey goodness over your dough.

Roll the dough up lengthwise, and pinch the seam together to seal.

Cut your dough into 12 slices and place them in a greased 9×13″ pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise till doubled, usually 45-60 minutes.

After the dough is all nice and puffy, you want to bake them at 350° till they are nice and golden brown. They will puff up even more in the oven. Don’t they look glorious?

To take these babies to the next level of yumminess, you drizzle the tops with Nutella. I just scooped about 1/4 cup of Nutella into a ziplock bag, then squeezed it in my hands a bit to warm it up. Then I snipped a hole in the corner and drizzled away.

If you like Nutella half as much as my family does, you are going to love these Nutella rolls. They are soft and pillowy and filled with decadent chocolate filling.

Nutella drizzled over the top is the perfect touch I think. So simple, but seriously decadent. Make sure you have a tall glass of milk ready!

Tips for making Nutella Rolls:

• You want a dough that is soft but not sticky. When it no longer sticks to the side of the bowl, it’s usually ready.
• A good rolling pin makes roll making much easier. I bought this marble rolling pin a couple years ago, and wish I would have got one sooner!
• I always roll out my dough on a greased countertop instead of using flour. I don’t want all that flour ending up in my rolls, making them dry!
• I cut my sweet rolls with dental floss instead of a knife. Just slide the floss under the roll of dough, cross the ends over each other and pull in opposite directions till you cut through the dough. No squished rolls!
