Instructions for making your Puff Pastry Christmas Tree

  1. Spread the puff pastry sheets: Place the puff pastry sheets on a flat surface and spread them with the JustLoading cocoa, hazelnut and date cream until they are completely covered.
  2. Place the second layer: Once the sheet is covered, place another sheet of puff pastry on top and press lightly so that it sticks together.
  3. Cut and shape the tree: Cut the puff pastry into long strips that you will place in an ‘S’ shape to simulate the Christmas tree. Place a toothpick at the base to give stability.
  4. Make the star: Use one of the leftover strips to cut out a star with a mould. Place it on the top of the tree.
  5. Bake: Brush the tree with beaten egg and sprinkle with sweetener. Bake in a preheated oven at 210°C for 15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.

Tips for an even more delicious Christmas tree

  • Make it more festive: You can add a little cinnamon to the sweetener to give it a more Christmassy touch.
  • Customise the toppings: If you prefer a more decorated tree, add some toppings such as dried fruit or chocolate chips.
  • Substitute puff pastry: If you're looking for a gluten-free option, use gluten-free puff pastry available in speciality shops.
