Now, let’s focus on the sweet side of puff pastry. This Puff Pastry Snowflake is an easy treat, and perfect to serve with a hot chocolate. It complements the delicious Puff Pastry Christmas Tree.
The visual appeal of this snowflake makes it perfect for serving at events. It is made with simple ingredients by filling, slicing, twisting, and transforming puff pastry into an edible, pull-apart snowflake. Pair this recipe with a Christmas Margarita to complete your holiday spread.
Don’t worry if the beautiful result intimidates you. Creating the Puff Pastry Snowflake is a simple process. Begin by spreading Nutella or jam on a sheet of puff pastry and layering it with another sheet of pastry.
Use a bowl in the center of the filled pastry as a guide for your cuts. This helps create a uniform and visually appealing design.
To ensure even spacing, make four initial cuts (top, bottom, left, and right) to create four equal sections. Divide each section into four smaller wedges, creating a total of 16 pieces.
Grab two pieces and twist them together two or three times. Pinch them firmly to seal. Repeat the twisting and sealing process to form eight points on your puff pastry snowflake.
Brush the snowflake with an egg wash, and sprinkle on sanding sugar for a glistening crunch. And have the powdered sugar ready for a snowy shower!
