Description
These Raspberry Nutella Heart Pies are a delicious treat, featuring sweet strawberries and creamy Nutella, perfect for gatherings or an indulgent snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package pre-made pie crusts (or you can make your own pie crust…see notes.)
- nutella
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 1–2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the strawberry filling by washing, de-stemming, and dicing the strawberries. Mix them with sugar and cornstarch in a bowl until evenly coated. Let it sit to macerate for a few minutes.
- Unroll the first pie crust on a clean counter or parchment paper. Cut out heart shapes and place them on a greased cookie sheet, leaving space between each one. Gather excess dough, re-roll, and cut more hearts as needed.
- Spread 1-2 teaspoons of Nutella in the center of each heart. Microwaving Nutella for 15-20 seconds can make it easier to spread.
- Spoon a portion of the strawberry filling onto each heart.
- Unroll the second pie crust and cut out the same number of heart shapes. Place a heart on top of each pie and seal the edges using a fork.
- Create small vent holes on the top of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Whisk together egg and water until light yellow and uniform, adding extra water if necessary.
- Lightly brush the egg wash over the top of each pie.
- Bake in the oven until deeply golden brown, approximately 12-14 minutes.
Notes
Feel free to customize the filling by adding other fruits like raspberries or blueberries.
If making your own crust, ensure it’s chilled for easier handling.
These pies can be served warm or at room temperature.
