Description
Festive Nutella Puff Pastry Christmas Tree
Ingredients
2 sheets of puff pastry (thawed)
1/2 cup Nutella (or your favorite chocolate hazelnut spread)
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Directions
Preheat: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Shape the tree: Lay one sheet of puff pastry on the parchment. Spread Nutella evenly, leaving a small border around the edges. Place the second puff pastry sheet on top.
Cut the tree: Using a knife, cut the pastry into a large triangle (tree shape). Save the extra pieces for other shapes!
Create branches: On both sides of the triangle, make horizontal cuts (leaving the center “trunk” intact). Twist each strip to form the branches.
Egg wash: Brush the entire tree with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Bake in the oven for 18-22 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
Finish: Once cooled slightly, dust with powdered sugar for a snowy effect.
