Preparation of Sweet Christmas Wreath Centerpiece
Let’s see how to prepare the Christmas wreath.
In a bowl, pour the sugar, ricotta cheese, egg, vanilla, and the grated zest of an orange, mix well until it becomes a nice homogeneous cream, then add the dark chocolate chips while stirring. Take a round baking pan and lay out the puff pastry, start filling from the outer side leaving a couple of inches, fill about 2 inches towards the center.
Close the edges on the outside, and on the inside, cut the dough into 8 slices with the help of a knife, then take the tip of each slice of dough and position it outward over the cream, brush the entire pastry with milk and place dark chocolate chips at each corner of the pastry, you can also add candied fruits or colorful chocolate sprinkles.
