nutella coconut hand pie

More Pi Day pies! This time, a hand pie in the Pi symbol, filled with Nutella and coconut.

Simply delicious.

Draw and cut a Pi symbol from cardboard, then cut around the template in the pie dough. Top the dough Pi with Nutella (about a tablespoon each) and sprinkle with coconut, add another dough Pi to the top, pinching together to form a pillow Pi. :)

Bake @ 350 for 25 minutes.

Happy Pi Day, once again!

I thought of making these after making my original full size pie with the Pi cut out of the middle… I had made more dough that I was going to freeze… it was meant to be! :D hope you had a great Pi Day – banana cream sounds GOOD !

omg these are so cute! I would have NO patience for doing this. I just know that I would be cutting out the pastry and then one of the Pi arms would just fall right off. Wanna come over and make them for me? Pretty please?

I was quite confused about pi day, until I thought about the fact that we mostly do “day/month/year” which means no pi day until they create two more months. But I’m totally on your bandwagon because the mental image when I saw “hand pie” was priceless, and would sell me on ANYTHING!! Woot!

42 spabettie March 15, 2011 at 3:19 pm

ha! I didn’t think about that, 14.3 doesn’t mean the same thing, huh? :) these pies were especially fun… and today I learned Nutella should NOT be refrigerated. oops!
