Equipment
- 1 Pie dough mold If you do not have a pie mold you can just fold the pie into a rectangle or half moon shape, crimp the edges, and bake!
- 1 Medium saucepan
- 1 Baking sheet
Ingredients
Pie Dough
- 2 Cup All purpose flour (or gluten free all purpose flour)
- 1 Teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted cold butter Plus an extra tbsp melted to brush on the pie dough (Cut into cubes; If using vegan butter, keep it extremely cold in the freezer until use)
- 1/2 Cup Cold vegetable shortening
- 1/2-3/4 Cup Ice cold water
Chocolate Pudding
- 3 Cups Whole milk
- 2/3 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Semi sweet chocolate chips Or your favorite chocolate
- 1 Tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 2 Tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 3 Tablespoon Cornstarch mixed with 3 Tbsp of water to make a slurry or Arrow root powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher salt
Strawberry Glaze
- 1/2 Cup Strawberry jam
- 2 Cup Powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Whole milk or milk of choice
- 2 Tablespoon Sprinkles Optional
Instructions
Pie Dough
- Add flour, sugar, and salt to the food processor. Pulse.
- Then cube cold butter, place in food processor, and pulse until the flour is pea-sized.
- Then slowly add ice water to the food processor while you pulse the mixture until the dough comes together into a ball in the food processor.
- Then wrap with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge until ready to roll out.
- When chilled, roll out onto a floured surface (with a floured rolling pin), and use a 5 inch bowl to cut out circles. Or use a hand pie mold which I used for this recipe.
Chocolate Pudding
- Take a medium sized saucepan and turn to medium heat.
- Add milk, salt, and sugar to the pot and whisk well. Add chocolate chips and cocoa powder to milk mixture, and whisk until dissolved. Add butter to mixture, and mix well.
- Take 3 Tablespoons of the milk mixture and mix with 3 tablespoons of cornstarch to make a smooth slurry. Then whisk the slurry into the milk mixture.
- Whisk over medium heat until thickened. Whisking often.
- Then when the mixture is fully thickened, turn off heat and add vanilla.
- Put the pudding in a heat-proof bowl and place plastic wrap over the top surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill the pudding.
Strawberry Glaze
- Mix all ingredients together until smooth and thin enough to drizzle.
- Note: If you need it thicker, add more powdered sugar.
- If you need thinner add a little more milk.
Hand Pie
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Stuff with chocolate pudding, pinch the sides closed, and make sure you slit the top of your hand pies (unless your mold has holes like mine) for venting.
- Then place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Then use an egg wash (or melted butter of choice) and brush the hand pies to make that golden brown crust that we love!
- Then place them in the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until golden brown!
- Then drizzle with strawberry glaze and sprinkles of your choice (optional).
