Ingredients

  • 2 sheets of puff pastry
  • 1 cup vegan nutella
  • 2 tbsp vegan salted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 tbsp oat milk
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C/428°F
  2. Place a sheet of puff pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the vegan nutella all over. Place the second puff pastry over the top. Shape into a tree, and then cut the branches but cutting out 1-inch slits on both sides, keeping the middle intact. If you think you'll find this hard to do, lightly score a trunk onto the large triangle, making sure the top is more narrow, and the bottom side of the tree is wider.
  3. To create the branches, twist the puff pastry strip 1-3 times. The bottom branches should have fewer twists, and the ones at the top will probably only have 1-2. With the excess puff pastry, cut out stars with a cookie cutter. One larger star for the top of the tree, and fewer smaller ones to decorate the tree trunk with. Press the stars onto the tree. In a small bowl combine, 1 tbsp melted butter with the oat milk. Brush all over the puff pastry tree and stars. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden.
  4. While the Christmas tree bakes, mix the granulated sugar with ground cinnamon. Brush the freshly baked, warm tree with the remaining 1 tbsp of butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture all over. Enjoy warm!!
