Tell me about this fudgy Nutella brownie pie?
What is a Nutella brownie pie? Well, my friends, it is the ultimate dessert for chocolate and brownie lovers. It is a rich and fudgy brownie baked in a pie crust with a layer of gooey Nutella in the middle. It is decadent, delicious, and dangerously addictive.
It’s easy to make as we are only going to make the brownie filling from scratch. We are going to use a pre-made shortcrust pastry for the pie crust which saves a lot of time.
This Nutella brownie pie has a very special place in my heart (and tummy). It’s just so delicious and is the perfect cosy treat to celebrate the weekend arriving. It’s currently Friday and I’ve got a very big fork ready to dive right in!

This Nutella brownie pie is easy to make but is made in two stages. The shortcrust pie shell and the brownie filling. To make this pie easier to make you can use a pre made shortcrust pastry (like I did) so you only have to make the brownie filling from scratch. trust me you want to make it from scratch because box brownies do not taste as good…
