Puff Pastry Christmas Tree
My beautiful Nutella Puff Pastry Christmas tree that has been a hit for years. This recipe is only three ingredients and even if you mess up, it will be delicious regardless.
Servings: 15
Ingredients
- 2 puff pastry sheets 10" by 10 "
- ½ cup Nutella you can melt in microwave for easy spreading
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- icing sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Defrost the puff pastry as per the package instructions and transfer one sheet onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If anything sticks you can always dust it with flour.
- I melted my Nutella over a double boiler so that it’s very easy to spread but you can do that in the microwave as well. I added the Nutella onto my puff pastry sheet and spread it with the back of my spoon.
- I placed my second puff pastry sheet on top and dusted the top with more flour. Now take a pizza cutter or a knife and cut it into a triangle starting from the top cutting down towards each corner.
- The top right side scraps we can use to make our star shapes by using a cookie cutter. Take the top left side of the dough, lift it, flip it and connect it with your triangle to make this tree into one large triangle.
- Pinch the two triangles together as best as you can. Take the pizza or cookie cutter and cut the bottom so it resembles a tree. Now, make cuts along each each side of the tree and twist each piece.
- Brush the tree with egg wash by mixing one egg+ water into a bowl, add the star shapes on top and brush them as well. Place any remaining scraps on the baking sheet so we can bake them as well.
- Bake at 400F for 20 min or until golden. Dust with icing sugar and enjoy.
