Puff Pastry Showstopper

Inviting guests over for festive drinks? Wow them with a puff pastry Christmas tree showstopper.

It's incredibly simple to make, looks fantastic on your table and is delicious!

What you need:
2 packets of pre-made puff pastry
Cream cheese
Pesto

How to:
Preheat the oven to 180’c
Roll out one of the puff pastry sheets and spread with cream cheese and then Pesto sauce.
Roll the 2nd sheet of puff pastry on top to make a sandwich. Using a sharp knife cut into a triangular Christmas tree shape (use a star shaped cookie cutter to not waste any of the remaining pastry).
Slice branches either side of the triangle and then twist each of the branches.
Tip - If you find it is tricky to cut, place back in the fridge to cool.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Serve warm.

Alternative fillings! 
You could change these fillings for anything that takes your fancy; tomato, basil and mozzarella for example, or even make a sweet version using chocolate spread (tried, tested and approved for kids with a hot choc!)

Bon appetit!
