Puff Pastry Christmas Tree Ingredients
Full ingredients with measurements are available in the recipe card below at the end of this post
Puff pastry sheet - You can purchase chilled sheets or frozen block of puff pastry. You can eady rolled sheet cut in half or two.
Nutella - any chocolate hazelnut spread works here. For a nut-free recipe use chocolate spread that are made without nuts. You can use leftover nutella to make this Nutella Barfi (Indian style Nutella fudge).
Milk - for glazing as an alternative to egg wash - optional.
Icing sugar to dust
Cake pop sticks or regular skewers
This is an easy recipe to make vegan as store bought puff pastry tends to be vegan. Nutella contains skim milk powder so ensure to use a dairy-free chocolate spread. Use a plant based milk as the glaze.
To make it gluten-free, you can purchase gluten free puff pastry from the store. Nutella is gluten-free.
How to make Nutella Christmas Tree
Roll out the puff pastry sheets. You can either cut the one pastry in half to make two smaller sheets or use 2 puff pastry sheets.
Spread over a layer of Nutella ensuring to reach the edges.
Top with the second sheet of puff pastry.
Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel to cut into 2 cm or 1 inch strips.
Next, fold the puff pastry dough accordion style, starting with a larger base and going smaller to create a christmas tree shape.
Reserve one strip so that you can cookie cut stars to top the trees.
Push through a cake pop or skewer to secure the tree and star together.
Brush over milk or glaze of choice if using.
Transfer over to a baking sheet with sufficient room to allow the pastry to expand.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180C or 360 F for 10-15 or until the pastry is lightly golden.
Alternatively, place in an air fryer basket air fry for 7-10 minutes at 180C or 360F until golden.
Tips and Tricks
Do not stuff with too much Nutella as it may start leaking out of the sides.
Use the whole cut strip per tree unless you want to make them even smaller.
Some soak the skewers first but I found that mine didn't burn.
Note that cooking times can vary between models and size of your pastry.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container as soon as possible. To get them crunchy again, reheat in the oven or air fryer just for a minute or so.
To make ahead, prepare the christmas tree pastry and keep chilled in the fridge. Bake just before serving, especially if you want to serve them warm.
I do not recommend freezing once the pastry is cooked. The puff will loose texture.
