How to Make Nutella Mummy Hand Pies

Making Nutella Mummy Hand Pies is simple and enjoyable. Follow these easy steps to create your own spooky treats!

Ingredients:

• 2 sheets of ready roll puff pastry (Vegan & gluten-free)
• 6 tablespoons of Vegan Nutella
• 2 medium sized bananas
• 3 tablespoons of dairy-free milk (for the ‘egg wash’)
• 2 tablespoons of caster/granulated sugar
• 1 packet of dairy-free white chocolate buttons
• 2 tablespoons of icing sugar (for dusting)

Directions:

1. Method:

   • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
   • Roll out one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut out rectangles, about 4×6 inches each.
   • Slice the bananas and place a few slices on one half of each rectangle.
   • Add about a tablespoon of Vegan Nutella on top of the banana slices.
   • Fold the other half of the pastry over to cover the filling and press down the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative look.
   • Brush the top of each pie with dairy-free milk and sprinkle sugar on top.
   • Make a few small slits in the top to let steam escape.
   • Place the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

2. Googly Eyes:

   • Once the hand pies are out of the oven and cooled slightly, melt the dairy-free white chocolate buttons in a microwave or double boiler. Use a small amount to attach two googly eyes on each pie for a fun, spooky look!

Tips to Make Nutella Mummy Hand Pies
