Cream Cheese and Nutella Pie Rolls

Welcome to the week of pie dough in our house.

And Happy Hunger Games.

I know I was way behind on both things but our house has been completely about pie crust and the Hunger Games for the past week.

I read the Hunger Games in a day and both Catching Fire and Mockingjay in less than 48 hours, finished the trilogy last night, and my head is so confused right now.

Sad that I finished them. Still trying to figure out every twist and turn in the plot.

I’m pretty sure I need a book club because I need someone to talk to about everything that happened.

The games, the trickery, the lies, the truths, the deaths, the sacrifices, the loves.

Real or not real?

I have no idea right now. My head is still in Panem.

Between baking pies and flipping pages, we had these little bites.

They didn’t last long – these actually didn’t even last 12 hours.

They’re poppable little snacks. Buttery, tangy, and sweet, wrapped up in one bite.Turns out cream cheese and nutella are a pretty good match together.

Real.

Cream Cheese Nutella Pie Rolls

Makes: 45-50 rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 batch of pie crust dough (make half this recipe)
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup Nutella

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Roll the pie crust dough out until it’s about 1/8″ thick, around the same thickness you would want if you were making a normal pie.
3. Spread the cream cheese down the center of the dough and spread out, carefully, so you don’t rip the dough.
4. Top the cream cheese with the Nutella.
5. Roll up the dough like you would if you were making cinnamon rolls.
6. Slice the dough into 1/2-inch rounds and place cut side up on a parchment lined baking sheet.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until the dough is golden.
