Puff pastry branch with Nutella, a simple yet impressive dessert.
Made with ready-made puff pastry and lots of Nutella, quick and scenic, the original idea consists of the particular cut of the pastry, noticed by chance on TikTok. As I mentioned, the recipe is very simple and really quick to prepare, instead of Nutella you can also use jam, with the flavor you prefer.
Once ready, this weave (see Nutella puff pastry braid) almost looks like a branch of leaves, very beautiful to see. I thought it would be perfect for a Christmas breakfast or snack or as a final dessert for a Christmas lunch or dinner if you have little time and still want to make a good impression. It really prepares in a snap, roll out the pastry and brush with the spread, roll and cut the leaves, bake, done. Try it!
