Notes
- If you don't have puff pastry, you can also use Crescent roll dough or phyllo dough
- Make sure the cream cheese has come to room temperature and is softened before use or else it will form lumps when mixed with the Nutella
- For a slightly lighter filling substitute the cream cheese with ricotta or mascarpone
- You can add a splash of warm cream to the Nutella to help thin it out and make it easier to drizzle on top of the croissant
