Chocolate Nutella Halva Hamantashen

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Servings 3

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup strong coffee at room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla expract
  • 2 tbsp chocolate liqueur (Godiva preferred)

Filling

  • 2 cups Nutella or other chocolate nut spread
  • 2 cups crumbled halvah, traditional or marbled

Egg Wash

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tsp water

Instructions
 

  • Make the dough by combining the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir to blend well.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar and mix at medium speed for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down side of bowl with rubber spatula.
  • With the mixer running at low speed, gradually add the flour mixture, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition, until fully incorporated. Add the coffee, vanilla extract and chocolate liqueur and mix to form a dough.
  • Shape the dough into 2 flat, round disks, wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until very firm. (This dough can be refrigerated up to 3 days before rolling and baking.)
  • When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick mats and set aside. Lightly four a work surface and rolling pin
  • Place 1 disk of dough on the work surface and roll out until it is between 1/4 and 1/8 inch thick. (The second dish should remain refrigerated while you do the first batch.) With a 3 inch cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible and place them on the prepared baking sheets, arranging them about 1 inch apart. Collect the scraps of dough, re-roll once, cut the additional circles and place on the baking sheet.
  • Make the egg wash by whisking the egg whites and 1 teaspoon of water in a bowl. With a pastry brush, brush the edges of each round of dough with the egg wash.
  • Place the Nutella and crumbled halvah in a small mixing bowl and store until fully combined. It will not be smooth and may have a few small chunks.
  • Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold up the edges to shape each filled round into a triangle, pinching them to form points, and leaving a small amount of the filling exposed at the top. Repeat with the remaining chilled dough and filling.
  • Chill the filled hamantaschen in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  • Bake for 13-14 minutes, until firm, alternating the baking sheets between the oven racks and turning the trays180 degrees halfway through the baking time. Let cool for 5-7 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Bake the remaining hamantaschen.
