Instructions

1. Preheat oven – Preheat oven to 350 degrees f/180 degrees c. Have ready a large baking tray lined with parchment paper.
2. Lay out pastry – Lay the cold pastry sheet on a sheet of parchment paper.
3. Cut out pastry – Using a heart cookie cutter, cut out as many hearts as you can. I got a total of 16 hearts with my 3 inch heart cookie cutter.
4. Fill pastry – Place 8 hearts (or as many as you have) 2 inches apart on your baking tray. Place about a teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each heart. Place another pastry heart over the top. Gently press down the sides. Using a fork go around the edges of the heart and firmly press it together.
5. Bake – Brush the tops of the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle over sugar. Bake for 15 – 18 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed up.
6. Serve – Serve warm or at room temperature.

Recipe Tips

• Prep ahead of time – This can be prepared up to 8 hours before baking. Just cover it and refrigerate it until baking. Don’t brush with the egg wash until just before baking.
• Use cold puff pastry – Cold puff pastry is much easier to work with, so be sure to keep it in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
• Don’t over fill the hearts – Overfilling will cause the nutella to spread out too much and run down the sides of the pastry. I used a heaping teaspoon for each one and it seemed to be the perfect amount.

Substitutions and Flavour Changes

• Use a different pastry – Puff pastry works best for this recipe, but you can use filo or shortcrust. Just remember, the results will be different and may require different baking times.
• Add fruit filling – You could use any flavoured jam like marmalade (orange), peach, raspberry, strawberry or other flavours you might like.
• Try a different chocolate – Instead of nutella, you can use chocolate chips inside. They will melt as it baked.
• Make a glaze for the top – By combining about 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk, you can make a basic sugar glaze. Just drizzle over the top.
• Make a different shape – You don’t have to be limited to heart shapes for this recipe. You could make turnovers, cut into triangles, scrolls, pinwheels, swirls, sticks or squares. You can put your own twist on it easily.
