This Christmas tree recipe for puff pastry and Nutella swept the net last Christmas and we wanted to teach you how to make it, but today we made up for it. It is impossible not to be captivated by its charm. such a recipe lucid and easymade with attractive ingredients, has everything to succeed with your families this Christmas.
Do not run away when reading Nutella, a highly controversial food that we consume sporadically is not going to upset our diet. We can also use a homemade cocoa and hazelnut cream or replace the filling with jam, dulce de leche, angel hair, almond paste or whatever we like best.
In any case, you will have to follow the instructions of the Puff Pastry and Nutella Christmas Tree Recipe. Let’s go see them.
We extend a sheet of puff pastry and brush it with the Nutella. It will spread better if we temper it a bit in the microwave, about 20 seconds will be enough. Me I have used rectangular sheetsbut it can also be done with the round ones, although you will have more waste when cutting the shape of the tree.
Cover with the second sheet of puff pastry. Must be careful because once deposited on the Nutella it remains adhered and there is no one to move it. With the help of a knife we make the shape of the Christmas tree, cut and remove the excess. With a star-shaped cookie cutter, we cut one and used it to decorate the top of the tree.
Next we make horizontal cuts on both sides, without reaching the center. We can use a sharp knife or pizza cutter. We twist each branch on itself, making ringlets, as you can see in the step-by-step photos. Brush with beaten egg, cover the central part with chopped hazelnuts and bake at 200ºC for 12-14 minutes.
do not throw excess. With it we can make various shapes or cut into strips, twist in the same way that we have done with the branches of our tree, brush with egg and bake.
