Ingredients

  • 2 x 320g Chilled Puff Pastry Sheets
  • 4 tablespoons Biscoff or Nutella spread
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Icing sugar, for dusting

How to make

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, Gas Mark 6. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  2. Unroll one of the puff pastry sheets and place on the baking sheet. Spread your chosen filing over the puff pastry sheet. Unroll the second puff pastry sheet and place on top of the first one.
  3. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out a star from one corner of the layered pastry and set aside. Cut the remaining layered pastry into the shape of a Christmas tree (triangle) with a wide base and trunk. Pull away the excess pastry.
  4. Lightly score 2 lines down the middle of the triangle to form a tree trunk about 3cm wide. Using the trunk as a guide, cut branches into the sides of the triangle, about 2cm wide. Leave the top 5cm as this will be covered with the pastry star.
  5. Starting at the top, twist each branch away from you, giving two twists to each branch.
  6. Place the pastry star on top of the tree, securing with a little beaten egg. Brush the star and tree with beaten egg.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until risen and golden brown. Cool for a few minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
