Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet ready to roll puff pastry
  • 2 tbsp Nutella/hazelnut chocolate spread
  • 1 egg

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 190C/180C Fan/350F and line a baking tray with baking paper
Roll out the puff pastry
  1. Roll the pastry out into a large rectangle. Unless you're making a large tree with two sheets of pastry, cut the sheet in half. Cut a large triangle/Christmas tree with the widest part as wide as your pastry.
Add the chocolate spread
  1. Spread the Nutella over the Christmas tree using the back of a spoon.
Make the Nutella Christmas tree
  1. Lay the second sheet of pastry over the top of the first. Feel for the edge of the bottom sheet and gently press down to seel them together. Using a sharp knife, cut out the top sheet to match the bottom sheet.
  2. Using a sharp knife, cut lines in your tree about one cm apart. Once all the branches are cut, twist each one away from you a few times and press it down on your baking tray.
  3. Brush the egg over the top of your Christmas tree
Bake your Nutella Christmas tree
  1. Bake your tree in the oven for 12-15 minutes. It's ready when it's turned golden brown and the pastry is nice and crispy.
