NUTELLA PANDORO CHRISTMAS TREES covered with chocolate and grated coconut, single-serving Christmas desserts made in a few minutes, perfect for recycling leftover pandoro or panettone.
The Nutella Pandoro Christmas Trees are that clever dessert that saves you every time you find yourself with yet another leftover pandoro. It takes just a few minutes, some Nutella, melted chocolate, and a sprinkle of coconut to get single-serving Christmas treats that instantly create a festive mood. They are cute, delicious, and so quick you’ll want to make them even when there’s no leftover pandoro… but we won’t tell anyone.
The great thing is that this recipe is really effortless: cut the pandoro, fill it with Nutella, coat it with chocolate, and decorate. Done. The wow effect is guaranteed, and you can bring them to the table at the last second. If you want to change to an even more Christmassy shape, use star-shaped cutters: the trees always make an impression, but mini stars work just as well.
For an even more delicious result, you can add chopped pistachios, toasted hazelnuts, or colorful sprinkles. And if you really want to go overboard, put a dollop of whipped cream on top. I won’t judge.

The Nutella can be slightly warmed to spread it more easily.
Dark chocolate makes everything less sweet, while milk chocolate turns them directly into a sugary treat: choose based on your Christmas sweetness threshold.
