Stuffed puff pastry Christmas trees are a simple, quick, and super scenic idea to bring to the table a last-minute Christmas dessert that will captivate both adults and children.
Perfect for celebrations, a Christmas buffet, or as a last-minute dessert, these treats combine the crunchiness of puff pastry with a delicious filling that immediately evokes the scent of Christmas.
They are ideal when time is short but you don’t want to miss out on something homemade, few ingredients, zero rising, and guaranteed results.
As you know, I am not a big fan of puff pastry, I much prefer leavened doughs, but in this case, I admit it is the best choice.
Puff pastry is practical, quick, and easy to manage, it has a uniform thickness and does not require resting times, making it perfect for quick recipes like this.
To make these treats, I used a Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter, perfect for evoking the Christmas atmosphere, but if you don’t have it, don’t worry, you can safely opt for stars, hearts, or simple squares, still achieving a delicious and festive result.
The filling? I chose Nutella, a classic favorite, but you can personalize the puff pastry trees with pistachio cream, jam, custard, or Christmas preserves.
The variations are endless and all irresistible.
Sure, between puff pastry and Nutella, the calories are not lacking, but let’s face it, at Christmas it’s really difficult, if not impossible, to stick to a diet.
Between lunches, dinners, and traditional sweets, indulging in a few guilty pleasures is part of the magic of the holidays.
