Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 sheets Puff pastry
  • ¾ cup Nutella
  • Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an oven to 200c (400f), and let your puff pastry thaw for about 2 hours (before preheating the oven) or until it's easy to work with.
  • Unfold two sheets of puff pastry and place one of them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Spread the Nutella or spread of your choice evenly with a spatula or with a butter knife.
  • Lay the other puff pastry on top of the Nutella. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the outline of a Christmas tree (as seen in the video or images).
  • Use a star cookie cutter to cut off 2-3 stars from the scraps. Set the starts aside.
  • Cut 1-inch strips on the sides of the Christmas tree. Twist each strip away from you to create a beautiful design.
  • Place a star on the top of the tree for a finished Christmas tree.
  • Mix 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of milk or heavy cream and brush the tree with the egg wash.
  • Bake in a 200c (400f) preheated oven for 20-30 minutes or until it's golden brown. Take a look at the tree after 20 minutes to make sure it doesn't burn.
  • Sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the Christmas tree for a snowy look. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Thaw the puff pastry in advance. An hour or two before making this, take the frozen puff pastry from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature until it's defrosted.
  • Keep an eye on the top of the pie when it's baking! It is easy to burn.
  • Make this your own by adding your favorite flavors and add-ins. Add chopped nuts, and different spreads that you like, and drizzle it with a simple glaze, chocolate syrup, etc.
  • Make this tree savory by swapping the Nutella with savory fillings like different cheeses, pesto, savory spreads, dried tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, etc.
  • If you live in a cold climate, microwave the Nutella for 20-30 seconds to make it more spreadable.
