Ingredients
For the recipe
- 240g roasted hazelnuts
- Pinch of salt
- 180g dark chocolate melted
- 120ml maple syrup

- 2 sheets of plant-based puff pastry

Before you start
Preheat the oven 200°C | Baking tray lined with parchment paper | Powerful blender
Step 1
First, make the nutella
- Blend all the homemade nutella ingredients together until smooth and a good consistency
Ingredients
- 240g roasted hazelnuts
- Pinch of salt
- 180g dark chocolate melted
- 120ml maple syrup
- 120ml nut milk - we used hazelnut milk
Step 2
Next, assemble the Christmas tree
- 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!
- Lay the other sheet of puff pastry on top, press down slightly, then trim the excess pastry off (where there's no nutella)
- Now make even cuts down both sides of the triangle, leaving an inch uncut in the centre, to keep the tree together
- Twist each strip from top to bottom to create tree branches
Ingredients
- 2 sheets of plant-based puff pastry
Step 3
Bake and enjoy!
- Brush the pastry with the oil so that when it bakes it goes golden brown
- Bake for 20 minutes at 200ºC or until well risen and golden
- Mix the leftover nutella with a bit more nut milk to make the dipping sauce
- Dust the tree with icing sugar and serve with the dipping sauce
