Description

Thisย Nutella Puff Pastry Star Wreathย is a show-stopping dessert made with flaky, buttery puff pastry and creamy Nutella. It’s simple to make yet looks impressive on any table. With just a few ingredients and a bit of twisting, youโ€™ll have a golden, chocolate-filled pastry that’s perfect for sharing. Serve it warm with a dusting of powdered sugar for the ultimate treat!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 1/2 cup Nutella (or other chocolate-hazelnut spread)
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp milk (optional, to mix with egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat ovenย toย 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out both puff pastry sheets to the same size. Place one sheet on the baking sheet.
  3. Spreadย Nutellaย evenly over the first sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Place the second puff pastry sheet on top, pressing gently to seal the edges.
  5. Place a small round cup or cookie cutter in the center (this will be your guide).
  6. Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into 16 equal strips from the center to the edge, like sun rays.
  7. Take two adjacent strips and twist them outwardย two to three timesย in opposite directions, then pinch the ends together to create a star shape. Repeat with all strips.
  8. Brush the pastry with theย egg washย (egg beaten with milk) for a golden finish.
  9. Bakeย forย 20-25 minutesย or until golden brown and puffed.
  10. Let cool slightly, then dust withย powdered sugarย before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts over the Nutella before adding the second layer of pastry.
  • Serve with a side of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent touch.
  • If you prefer a less sweet version, use dark chocolate spread instead of Nutella.
