Rolling Tips
To get the neatest swirls, you want to roll your twists as tight as possible without breaking the pastry. If you chill the pastry for a little while before rolling them into shape, you may find it easier to roll them, but this step isn’t essential.
They probably won’t look identical. How much they puff, how much Nutella is visible on the surface etc all depends on how tight they’re rolled and how much filling is in each one. A little bit of variation between them is totally normal.
And finally, pastry is high fat as is the chocolate spread. If you accidentally put too much in, you may find the grease pools on the tray after cooking, looking less than ideal. If this happens, don’t worry! Leave them to stand and cool for at least 10 minutes, and then remove the pastries from the tray. They’ll still work perfectly; you’ll just need to give them longer to cool to ensure none of the chocolate spread spills out and they hold their shape.
How to store and how long do they keep?
Store in an airtight container, somewhere cool and away from direct sunlight, but they do not need to be refrigerated. If stored correctly, they’ll keep for three days before the pastry starts to go stale.

Vegan Orange Nutella Swirls
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of vegan friendly puff pastry 280g, I used GF Jus Rol
- 100 g vegan chocolate hazelnut spread
- Either 1 tsp orange oil or 1 ½ tsps orange extract
- Almond milk to brush your pastry
- Chopped hazelnuts optional
- Icing sugar to dust, optional
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 220°C fan and line 2 large baking trays with grease proof paper.
-
Mix your vegan Nutella and orange oil/ extract together in a small bowl using a fork to gently whisk them together to combine.
-
Unroll the pastry sheet leaving the baking paper underneath. This will prevent sticking. Use a rolling pin to slightly flatten out any wrinkles in the pastry. Dust over some flour if the pastry is too sticky.
-
Spread 100g of the orange chocolate spread over one half of the pastry sheet, leaving the other half plain.
-
Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts and press them down slightly to stick (optional).
-
Lift up the plain pastry, and fold over, on top of the Biscoff to create a parcel.
-
Using a sharp knife or pizza roller, cut the pastry into strips (as wide as you’d like them).
-
Twist the strips then roll into spirals.
-
Place on the baking tray, leaving enough space between them to allow them to puff up.
-
Brush the tops and sides of each swirl with some dairy-free milk.
-
Place the tray one at a time in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes or until the pastry is golden in colour.
-
Once fully baked, remove the tray from the oven and place the other tray in to bake and repeat.
-
Allow to cool slightly, then serve with a dusting of icing sugar (optional).
Serve and enjoy!
Until tomorrow,
Sophie
