Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup Nutella (or any chocolate-hazelnut spread)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets to ensure they are even in size. Place one sheet on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the Nutella evenly over the first sheet, leaving about ½-inch border around the edges.
- Place the second puff pastry sheet on top, aligning the edges.
- Place a small bowl or glass in the center of the pastry to create a guide for the star’s center.
- Cut the pastry from the edge of the bowl outward into 16 equal strips (like slicing a pizza).
- Twist each strip 2–3 times to create the star effect. Pinch the ends together if needed to hold the shape.
- Prepare the egg wash by whisking the egg with milk. Brush the pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Notes
- For an extra festive touch, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts over the Nutella before adding the second pastry sheet.
- You can substitute Nutella with other spreads like almond butter or cookie butter.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
