Description
These Raspberry Nutella Heart Pies combine flaky pie crust, rich Nutella, and fresh strawberries into a delightful dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. Easy to make and utterly delicious, they are great for parties, desserts, or a sweet treat.
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 the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the strawberry filling: Wash, de-stem, and dice the strawberries. In a bowl, combine strawberries with sugar and cornstarch, mixing well. Let it macerate for a few minutes.
- Unroll the first pie crust on a clean surface or parchment paper. Cut out heart shapes and place them on a greased cookie sheet or one lined with parchment, leaving some space between them. Reroll excess dough to cut more hearts, saving the second pie crust for pie tops.
- Spread 1-2 teaspoons of Nutella in the center of each heart. If needed, microwave Nutella for 15-20 seconds for easier spreading.
- Top each heart with a spoonful of the strawberry mixture.
- Unroll the second pie crust and cut out hearts that match the bottom ones. Place these on top of the filled hearts, aligning them well, and seal the edges with a fork.
- Poke small holes in the top of each pie for venting during baking.
- Whisk together the egg and water until light yellow and uniform, adjusting water if necessary.
- Lightly brush the egg wash on top of each pie.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until deep golden brown.
Notes
For a homemade pie crust, make sure to chill the dough before rolling it out for easier handling.
Feel free to experiment with other berry fillings, such as blueberries or raspberries.
Ensure the Nutella is at room temperature for easier spreading.
