a great adventure that I had with these little babes, just saying that I made the double of this recipe and the next morning they all gone as they came…
the dough it’s amazing, I like how airy it was at the end of the process because of the two fermentations, and when you fried them and are finished with the filling it’s a surprise of textures and flavours because of the cream cheese and also the little amount of digestives makes the difference.
so in case, you’re craving these little Nutella bombs I wanted to share with you this recipe to save your day.
let’s bake!

· step by step ·
dough
in a big bowl mix the water with the yeast and leave it for 5min. and stir until it’s well combined.
melt the butter and add the yeast mixture, milk, egg yolks and sugar.
add the salt and the sifted flour and knead it until it’s non-stick.
pour the dough into a bowl with a little bit of oil, cover it with cling film and leave it to rest for 1 + ½ hours. it will rise double.
prepare your worktop with a good quantity of flour and spread the dough 1 to 1’5cm high.
with a 5 to 7cm cutter make all the circles.
place the circles on a tray with baking paper and leave them to rest for 45min. they will rise double.
pour the oil into a big deep pan and heat it at 180ºC.
fry each berliner on both sides until they are golden brown.
place them in a tray prepared with napkins to absorb the oil of the fried berliners, and leave them cool 5min before you fill them and sprinkle on top the icing sugar mixture.
filling
mix the cream cheese with the Nutella and place it in a big piping bag with a 5mm nozzle.
topping
in a food processor pour the digestives and process until are little crumbs.
mix them with the icing sugar, cinnamon and salt.
· tips ·
to control the quantity of the filling that you’re giving to each berliner it’s kind of difficult at the beginning, you can eat the first one to see the inside, or also with the weight you’ll know when it’s full. but be very careful because if you get too excited filling them they can explode!
enjoy!
