Nutella Puff Pastry Christmas Tree

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Nutella Puff Pastry Christmas Tree.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

2. Step 2

   Next, on a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry into a generous rectangle and gently place it on your prepared baking sheet.

3. Step 3

   With a sharp knife, lightly score the pastry into the shape of a Christmas tree, envisioning a triangle with a wide base.

4. Step 4

   Now, grab your favorite chocolate-hazelnut spread and, using the back of a spoon, spread a thin layer over the triangle, creating a delicious base for your festive treat.

5. Step 5

   Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry into another large rectangle and carefully lay it on top of the first sheet.

6. Step 6

   Using the shape of the chocolate-covered triangle as your guide, trace and cut out the Christmas tree shape, including the trunk, and set aside any excess pastry.

7. Step 7

   To add some character to your tree, lightly score two lines down the center of the triangle to form a trunk that narrows at the top and widens at the base.

8. Step 8

   Then, cut branches into the sides of the triangle, starting from the trunk, to give your tree a lovely, festive look.

9. Step 9

   Now comes the fun part! Twist each branch away from you, giving two turns to the lower branches and continuing to twist as you move up the tree.

10. Step 10

    This will create a beautiful, whimsical effect.

11. Step 11

    From the leftover pastry, cut out a small star and place it proudly on top of your tree.

12. Step 12

    To give your creation a lovely golden finish, brush both the star and the entire tree with a beaten egg.

13. Step 13

    Pop your masterpiece into the preheated oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry puffs up and turns a delightful golden brown.

14. Step 14

    Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for about 5 minutes before carefully sliding it onto a serving plate.

15. Step 15

    Your stunning chocolate-hazelnut Christmas tree is now ready to impress your family and friends—enjoy the festive cheer!.
