Step-by-Step: How to Make Red Velvet Nutella Cookie Pie
Step 1: Prepare the Base
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Grease a 9-inch cake pan.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
This step matters. It builds structure.
Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients
Mix in:
- Egg yolks
- Vanilla extract
- Red food coloring
Blend until smooth and evenly colored.
Don’t worry if the color looks bold.
It softens during baking.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Cocoa powder
- Baking powder
Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
Stop once a soft dough forms.
Do not overmix.
Step 4: Fold in White Chocolate
Gently fold in white chocolate chunks.
They add:
- Sweet contrast
- Creamy texture
- Visual appeal
Set a few aside if you want extra on top.
Step 5: Build the Cookie Pie Base
Reserve one-third of the dough.
Press the remaining dough into the pan.
Create a slight edge around the sides.
This keeps the Nutella contained.
Step 6: Add the Nutella Filling
Spread Nutella evenly in the center.
Avoid the edges.
This keeps it from leaking during baking.
Step 7: Seal the Top
Flatten the reserved dough into a round.
Place it over the Nutella layer.
Press gently to seal the edges.
Add extra chocolate chips if desired.
Step 8: Bake Just Right
Bake for 15–18 minutes.
The top should look set.
The center should stay soft.
This is the sweet spot.
Step 9: Cool and Serve
Let the pie cool slightly before slicing.
Serve warm for a gooey center.
Let it cool fully for cleaner slices.
Both ways work.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use high-quality cocoa powder
- Gel food coloring gives deeper red color
- Don’t overbake—soft center is the goal
- Reheat slices briefly for a molten middle
Small details.
Big difference.
