Ingredients

Hand Pies

Egg Wash

  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 Tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Combine chocolate and cream in a microwave safe bowl.
  • Heat in 15 second bursts in the microwave, stirring well after each, until melted and smooth.
  • Cover with plastic wrap, making sure it is touching the surface of the chocolate.
  • Refrigerate until thickened, about an hour.
  • Heat oven to 400℉/204℃.
  • Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Working with 1 sheet of puff pastry at a time, unfold onto work surface.
  • Flatten seams.
  • Use a 3-inch cutter to cut out shapes.
  • Repeat with second sheet of puff pastry.
  • Re-roll scraps, if desired.
  • Place half of the hearts on prepared pan.
  • Top each with 1½ teaspoons chocolate, leaving ¼ inch border around the edge.
  • Brush borders with egg wash.
  • Top with other half of hearts.
  • Press to seal. (You can use a fork to make sure they are sealed all the way around.)
  • Brush tops with egg wash.
  • Bake for 18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

How To Store:
These hand pies are best enjoyed as soon as they are made, but they can be kept in a zip-top bag and at room temperature for 2-3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 1 month.
 
Things To Keep In Mind:
  • This recipe yields 14 hand pies if you re-roll the scraps. If you choose to not re-roll the scraps, you will have 9 hand pies. Keep in mind, the hand pies made from the scraps will not puff as much as the others.
  • Room temperature is about 70℉/21℃.
  • Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate cooking temperatures.
