Bosh! Homemade Nutella Christmas Tree Recipe
This incredibly simple dish is perfect for breakfast on Christmas morning, nibbles at a party or even a naughty dessert!
15 minutes prep, 20 minutes cook
Serves 4
Ingredients
240g roasted hazelnuts
Pinch of salt
180g dark chocolate, melted
120ml maple syrup
120ml nut milk (we used hazelnut milk)
2 sheets of plant-based puff pastry
Vegetable oil for brushing
Icing sugar to dust
Method
1 Preheat the oven to 200C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2 Blend all the homemade nutella ingredients together until smooth and a good consistency.
3 On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spread the nutella on a sheet of puff pasty to create a Christmas tree shaped triangle about an inch thick – there'll be some leftover but you can use this as a dipping sauce!
4 Lay the other sheet of puff pastry on top, press down slightly, then trim the excess pastry off (where there's no nutella).
5 Now make even cuts down both sides of the triangle, leaving an inch uncut in the centre, to keep the tree together.
6 Twist each strip from top to bottom to create tree branches.
7 Brush the pastry with the oil so that when it bakes it goes golden brown.
8 Bake for 20 minutes at 200ºC or until well risen and golden.
9 Mix the leftover nutella with a bit more nut milk to make the dipping sauce.
10 Dust the tree with icing sugar and serve with the dipping sauce.
