Use a knife or heart-shaped cutter to carve out heart shapes from the room-temp puff pastry.

Lay the hearts on the baking tray and chill them in the fridge for 10 minutes to keep them firm.

Smear roughly 1 tablespoon of Nutella in the middle of half the hearts. Keep the edges clean.

Combine the egg with water, then use a pastry brush to coat the top of the pastries lightly.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and add whipped cream or fresh berries for extra flair, if you want.
