The combination of flakey, crispy pastry and oozy Nutella is truly a joy. This adorable Nutella Christmas Tree is an easy, but impressive and super tasty festive dessert.

But there’s no need to save this for after meals – this would also make an incredibly indulgent Christmas breakfast served with berries. Imagine the kids’ faces when you serve this up!


Ingredients (serves 12)

  • 2 rolls puff pastry
  • 4 apples
  • juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 20g butter
  • 80g caster sugar
  • 1 egg to brush
  • 180g Nutella

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180 ° C. Peel and cut apples into small cubes. Keep the apples in a bowl with the lemon juice.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add the apples.
  3. Add sugar and cinnamon and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool for 10 minutes. Crush the apples with a spoon, to obtain the consistency of a compote.
  4. Spread the applesauce on the first roll of puff pastry, leaving a 1 cm edge for soldering.
  5. Cover with the second puff pastry. Using a knife, cut the dough into a fir tree. Then cut strips of dough on both sides to get the branches. Carefully wrap each slat in order to twist them.
  6. Gently wrap each slat to twist. Using a pastry brush, brush the whole tree with the beaten egg. Bake the Christmas tree for 25 minutes.
  7. Using a piping bag, add 15g of Nutella® to each branch.
