Why You’ll Love This Fried Nutella Dumplings Recipe

These dumplings are fast to prep, require minimal ingredients, and taste like something much fancier than the effort it takes to make them. Whether you’re cooking for guests or treating yourself, these little bites are crowd-pleasers. Plus, you can get creative with toppings like sea salt, caramel drizzle, or fresh berries.

What Kind of Wrappers Should I Use?

Wonton wrappers work perfectly for these dumplings because they’re thin, crisp up beautifully when fried, and are easy to fold. You can also use spring roll wrappers cut into smaller squares. Just avoid thicker doughs like potsticker wrappers as they take longer to cook and don’t give the same crispy finish.

Ingredients for the Fried Nutella Dumplings

To make the perfect Fried Nutella Dumplings, you only need a handful of simple ingredients. Each one plays a key role in achieving that golden outside and luscious inside.

• Wonton wrappers: These are the crisp, golden shell of the dumpling. They fry quickly and become perfectly crunchy.
• Nutella: The star of the show! Rich, creamy, and chocolatey with a hazelnut twist.
• Water: Used to seal the edges of the wrappers.
• Vegetable oil: For deep frying. A neutral oil works best here.
• Powdered sugar: Optional, but adds a nice sweet finish when dusted on top.

How To Make the Fried Nutella Dumplings

Step 1: Prep the Wrappers

Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface and keep a small bowl of water nearby. Add about a teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each wrapper.

Step 2: Seal the Dumplings

Dip your finger into the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold it into a triangle or a little pouch, pressing the edges tightly to seal. Make sure no filling leaks out.

Step 3: Heat the Oil

In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a tiny piece of wrapper in—it should sizzle immediately.

Step 4: Fry the Dumplings

Carefully place a few dumplings at a time into the oil. Don’t overcrowd. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 5: Drain and Cool

Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm. Add ice cream or fresh berries for extra flair.

How to Serve and Store Fried Nutella Dumplings

Fried Nutella Dumplings are best served fresh and hot, right after frying, when the wrappers are at their crispiest and the Nutella is perfectly molten. This recipe makes around 15 dumplings, easily serving 4 to 6 people as a dessert.

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an air fryer or toaster oven to bring back some of the crispiness — microwaving them will make them soft and soggy.

Drizzle some warm caramel over the top for a decadent touch.

Sea Salt

Just a tiny sprinkle of flaky sea salt enhances the chocolate-hazelnut flavors.

Espresso or Coffee

A hot espresso or latte pairs nicely to cut through the sweetness.
