Delicious Nutella Cheesecake Hand Pies

by Nicole | Jul 11, 2021 | Recipes

I’ve been on a serious Nutella kick lately. I can’t be without a jar in the house and no drop goes to waste.

If you’ve seen my post on Instagram, I showed you how to make Nutella chocolate milk with a fun printable label to put on the jar.

There are so many Nutella recipes to choose from I decided to search for some and get inspired to make my own. With ingredients that I already had in my kitchen I decided to make these delicious Nutella cheesecake hand pies.

This Nutella recipe is a fun snack that is filled with creamy whipped Nutella filling wrapped with a golden flaky crust. The hazelnut drizzle adds the perfect amount of sweetness.

Here is what you need:

• 1 package refrigerated pie crust (comes with 2 crusts)
• 4 oz package cream cheese
• 1/2 cup Nutella
• 1/4 cup Nutella
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp water

Directions

1. In a stand mixer, mix 1/2 cup Nutella and cream cheese until combined.2.Place both pie crusts on top of each other.
2. Using a glass cup or circle cookie cutter, cut out circles through each crust. Delicately take about the two circles.
3. Take a full dollop of the Nutella cream cheese mixture into the center of half of the pie circles. Take the other half of the pie circles and place on top of the filling.
4. Press all around the pie with your finger until sealed. Use a fork to complete the sealing by pressing all around the finger presses.
5. Poke a few holes in each pie.
6. Mix egg with water to create an egg wash. Spread it over each hand pie.
7. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F.
8. Heat the rest of the Nutella up in the microwave for about 45-60 seconds.
9. Pour warm Nutella into a zip-lock bag and cut off a small piece of one of the bottom corners to make it into a piping bag.
10. Drizzle Nutella all over the hand pies and enjoy!
