These flaky, golden Nutella Hand Pies are filled with warm chocolate-hazelnut spread and finished with a light lemon glaze. A bakery-style treat made simple with puff pastry.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/2 cup Nutella spread
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk for the egg wash. In another bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla, and a few drops of water to make glaze. Stir in lemon zest and chill.
  3. Unfold puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into 4-inch squares.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon of Nutella to the center of each square. Brush edges with egg wash, fold into triangles, and seal with a fork.
  5. Place on baking sheet, brush tops with egg wash, and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
  6. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden and puffed.
  7. Cool slightly before drizzling with glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold until ready to use for the best texture.
  • Don’t overfill to prevent leaks during baking.
  • Use a piping bag for cleaner filling placement.
  • Freeze unbaked hand pies for quick future desserts.
