Chocolate and Vanilla Twist Pie Recipe

Turn your teatime into an enchanting moment by serving this delightful pastry with some freshly brewed coffee or a steaming pot of tea. ☕💫 The combination of warm, spiced vanilla and rich chocolate pairs beautifully with the subtle bitterness of coffee or the gentle notes of an herbal tea.

Feeling a bit adventurous? Top each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and watch it ooze into the layers as it melts. 🍦✨ The effect is nothing short of magical, and it’s a sure way to transform teatime into a special occasion.

If you're hosting guests, cut the pastry into smaller, bite-sized pieces for easy sharing. ⚡👍 This way, everyone can enjoy a taste without feeling too full. A dusting of powdered sugar over the top or a drizzle of chocolate sauce can elevate the presentation effortlessly.

For a _**gluten-free**_ version, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour mix that is suitable for baking. 🌾🚫 Ensure that your baking powder and other ingredients are certified gluten-free to avoid any cross-contamination.

To make this pastry a _**vegan delight**_, swap the milk with almond or oat milk and replace the butter with a plant-based alternative. 🥥🌱 Use a flax egg (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) in place of the traditional egg. This way, you maintain the delightful taste and texture without the animal products, ensuring everyone can enjoy a piece. 💡😊
