The best Christmas party snack. Nutella sandwiched between puff pastry, cut into star shapes and baked in a wreath shape.
Wow your guests this Christmas with this showstopper dessert!
It looks so impressive but it actually really easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.
Start with a roll of puff pastry and some Nutella.
Spread the Nutella across the whole of the puff pastry.
Then add a second roll of puff pastry to the top.
Push down on the top layer so that it all sticks together.
Use a star cutter to cut out shapes from the pastry.
The star cutter I used was 6cm in size but you can use a slightly larger or small one too.
Use a large dinner plate to draw a circle shape onto some parchment paper.
Add the cut out stars all around the circle, overlapping them slightly.
Add some egg wash to the top.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until golden brown.
Once cooked, dust with icing sugar and it’s ready to serve.
Recipe FAQ’s
Nutella Alternative – If you want to make this nut free then a chocolate spread without hazelnuts will work just as well. I think it would also be delicious with Biscoff!
Egg Alternative – Instead of egg you can use some milk brushed on to the top of the pastry.
Offcuts – There will be lots of offcuts from the pastry. Don’t throw them away! Bake them up on another baking tray and they’re just as delicious!
Serving – You can serve this wreath up directly on the parchment paper that you cooked it on. You can also transfer it to a board or large plate. When you transfer it, some of the stars will break away. But it’s easy to arrange them back into the circle shape.
