Description
These Raspberry Nutella Heart Pies offer a mouthwatering blend of strawberry and Nutella, wrapped in a flaky crust, making them ideal for a sweet treat at any time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package pre-made pie crusts (or your own pie crust)
- Nutella
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 1–2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Prepare the strawberry filling by washing, de-stemming, and dicing the strawberries. Combine them with sugar and cornstarch until fully coated. Set aside to macerate.
- Roll out the first pie crust and cut out heart shapes. Place them on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet, leaving space between them. Gather the excess dough, re-roll, and cut more hearts as needed.
- Spread Nutella on the center of each heart, warming it slightly if necessary for easier spreading.
- Add a spoonful of the strawberry filling onto each heart.
- Roll out the second pie crust and cut the same number of heart shapes. Place them atop each pie, aligning as closely as possible. Seal the edges using a fork.
- Make small vent holes in the top of each pie using a skewer or knife.
- Whisk together the egg and water until uniform, adding more water if needed to reach a light yellow consistency.
- Lightly brush the mixture over the tops of the pies with a pastry brush.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until they are deep golden brown.
Notes
Microwave Nutella for 15-20 seconds to make it easier to spread.
Ensure to leave enough space between the pies on the baking sheet for even cooking.
Feel free to mix in other fruits with the filling for a twist.
