  5. Spread the hazelnut butter on one half of the pastry sheet, then fold the other half over to cover it.
  6. Cut the folded pastry into a Christmas tree shape.
  7. Cut slits along the sides of the tree to create branches, then gently twist each branch for a tree-like effect.

  9. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Notes

Chocolate hazelnut butter: Use homemade or store-bought. If you can't find chocolate hazelnut butter, you can buy just hazelnut butter and mix it with cocoa and maple syrup or coconut sugar.
