EPIPHANY SOCK PIE, a treat for kids filled with Nutella and Kinder bars, perfect for an Epiphany breakfast or snack made in a short time.
I wanted to prepare a simple dessert for Epiphany, something cheerful, delicious, and perfect for children’s breakfast. The classic shortcrust pastry becomes a fun Epiphany sock pie, filled with Nutella, pieces of Kinder bars, and whatever I had in my pantry. It’s one of those Epiphany desserts that make an impression without complicating your life.
This Epiphany sock pie is also ideal if you have little time: it can be prepared in advance, stays soft and fragrant, and on Epiphany day, it’s ready to be served. Perfect as a dessert for kids, but I warn you… it disappears quickly among adults too. Great for an Epiphany breakfast, as a snack, or as a homemade dessert to place next to the sock.

Steps
Prepare the shortcrust pastry using a food processor or by hand.
Pour the flour into a bowl, add the salt, sugar, butter pieces, and the egg and work first with a fork then by hand.
Move to a floured surface, divide the dough, keeping some aside for the border, and roll out the pastry to a thickness of 3/16 inches (4-5 mm), not too thin.
Cut out the shape of a sock on paper, place it on the pastry, and cut it out.
Make a rope with the remaining pastry, fold it in half and twist it, make the pie’s border.
Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 15-18 minutes or in the air fryer at 350°F for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven, let it cool a bit and fill with Nutella, add chopped chocolates, candied cherries, a dusting of powdered sugar, and it’s ready.
