Step-by-Step Instructions for Deep Fried Nutella Balls
  1. Start by dropping teaspoons of Nutella onto a sheet of parchment paper. Spread them out evenly and place the tray in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add honey, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until smooth.
  4. In a heavy-bottomed pot, pour in enough vegetable oil to reach at least 2 inches deep. Heat it over medium-high until it reaches 350°F.
  5. Carefully dip each frozen Nutella ball into the batter and ensure a thorough coating.
  6. Gently lower 3 to 4 coated Nutella balls into the hot oil. Fry them for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fried Nutella balls and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
