# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • You get bakery style results with zero effort and ingredients you probably have right now
  • The air fryer makes the croissants impossibly crisp while turning the Nutella into molten magic
02 -
  • The Nutella will be insanely hot so let them cool for at least 3 minutes before taking that first bite
  • Overfilling causes leakage in the air fryer so stick to 2 tablespoons maximum per croissant
03 -
  • Buy extra croissants when they are on sale and freeze them then air fry straight from frozen adding 1 to 2 minutes
  • Work quickly once you start filling to prevent the Nutella from melting and making things messy
