You get a matrix of functions. Apply them :

sage: L.hessian()(x, y, λ)
[A*x^(α - 2)*y^β*(α - 1)*α A*x^(α - 1)*y^(β - 1)*α*β                      -p_x]
[A*x^(α - 1)*y^(β - 1)*α*β A*x^α*y^(β - 2)*(β - 1)*β                      -p_y]
[                     -p_x                      -p_y                         0]

Docstring:     
   Compute the hessian of a function. This returns a matrix components
   are the 2nd partial derivatives of the original function.

   EXAMPLES:

      sage: x,y = var('x y')
      sage: f = x^2+y^2
      sage: f.hessian()
      [2 0]
      [0 2]
      sage: g(x,y) = x^2+y^2
      sage: g.hessian()
      [(x, y) |--> 2 (x, y) |--> 0]
      [(x, y) |--> 0 (x, y) |--> 2]
Init docstring: Initialize self.  See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

You get a matrix of functions. functions :

sage: L.hessian().parent()
Full MatrixSpace of 3 by 3 dense matrices over Callable function ring with arguments (x, y, λ)

Apply them :

sage: L.hessian()(x, y, λ)
[A*x^(α - 2)*y^β*(α - 1)*α A*x^(α - 1)*y^(β - 1)*α*β                      -p_x]

I have search for hessian? but there is no entry in the online documentation.

L.hessian? prints :
