Crafting Your Halloween Treats: Nutella Mummy Hand Pies

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. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut out rectangles, about 10cm x 7cm (4 inches x 3 inches).
  3. Spread 1 tablespoon of Nutella on one half of each rectangle.
  4. Slice the bananas and layer them over the Nutella.
  5. Fold the pastry over to create a pocket, sealing the edges with your fingers.
  6. Use a knife to make a few slits on top for the “mummy” effect.
  7. Brush the tops with dairy-free milk and sprinkle with sugar.
  8. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until they are golden brown.
  9. Once cool, melt the white chocolate buttons in a microwave-safe bowl. Drizzle over the hand pies to create the mummy wrappings and add googly eyes for fun.Halloween puff pastry mummy pies filled with Nutella and banana slices, dusted with powdered sugar
