Baked Rice Paper Nutella Rolls
Uh oh, I almost neglected the Nutella Challenge this month. Don’t worry, I came up with something really fast and yummy last week-only problem was finding time to post! I get little bits of time here and there and lately it’s been harder for me to get on the computer for this food blog that I love to do. Sadly, lately it’s also been tough finding time to read other good food stuffs blogs – can’t wait until it slows down to spend more time with the subject of food! There are so many things I’ve already got planned to write about and/or review!!! What did I decide to do for this challenge? Wrap up some Nutella in a rice paper and bake it. It was a tasty little treat, quick and easy! Honestly, I’ll bet it would be even better deep fat fried but I’ve never deep fat fried anything in my life and doubt that I ever will. First of all, I think it’s scary and second, it’s just so bad for you!!! I think these would be fun for a little get-together with the girls. A nice, cute little treat that isn’t that bad for you!
Ingredients:
- Pacific Natural Foods Hazelnut milk (or water-as I suspect the added hazelnut flavor is minimal – but use it if you have it, the drink alone is strong)
- Rice papers
- Nutella
- Crispy rice cereal – I used Erewhon Gluten free crispy brown rice – it’s got more of a sturdy crunch so it holds up nicely.
- Melted butter
Method:
- Pre-heat oven to 350
- Put enough hazelnut milk (or water) in a shallow/wide bowl to dip rice papers in
- Place a wet paper towel by the bowl
- One at a time, soak rice paper sheet
- When soft, remove from bowl and place on paper towel
- Put some Nutella in a small line in the middle/side of rice paper
- Sprinkle some rice cereal on Nutella
- Roll up and place on greased cookie sheet
- Make as many as you think will be eaten-
- When all are on sheet – brush a little melted butter on top
- Bake about 15-17 minutes or until golden brown – you can turn mid-way through baking for a more even crispiness – or the bottom will be chewy
- Allow to cool for best flavor
- Will keep for the day but not over night- then they become chewy and the rice cereal loses its crispness
I think these would also be delicious with chopped up hazelnuts and/or strawberries as well. Have fun:)

How creatvie and tasty!
So creative making dessert out of those rice paper sheets. I usually just make spring rolls with them.
Sounds interesting! I do though agree deep frying would take those over the top.

I can’t believe you’re posting these while I’m on my NO SUGAR challenge. Arrrrrrrrrgh.
Nutella is my 3rd love. (I’d say first but I might get in trouble.)
Mmmm these look SO good.
Love me some nutella.
This reminds me of Giada’s fried nutella ravioli, but such a healthier version- baked with rice paper rolls instead of wonton wrappers. I must try.
Wow! This is something very simple and different. Perfect idea!
Seriously, one of the most unique recipes, evvvver! And I totally agree with you about deep frying…it’s scary! I am one of those people with the grand ability to burn water, so who even wants to imagine me with several inches of oil?!
You had me at Nutella … and I agree with Jenn, the hazelnut milk is truly inspired. I also love that you baked rather than fried here … I don’t deep fry anything either. Ick!
I know just what you mean about needing more time to write and read. My to-read-blog-list seems to grow every day, yet there are only so many hours left to do so. Sigh.
I really love that you dipped the rice paper in hazelnut milk! That is a genius touch. These look great, my husband would LOVE this!
mmmmm I think they sound perfect the way you made them
no scary deep fat needed
