Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent dough
- 1 cup Nutella or similar chocolate hazelnut spread
- powdered sugar for dusting
- egg wash or melted butter
Instructions
- To Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Open one sheet of crescent dough, spread it out, and lay it flat on top of the parchment paper. Spread a generous layer of Nutella evenly on top of the entire surface of the dough.
- Open the second can of dough and spread the sheet on top of the Nutella-covered sheet of dough.
- Use a knife to trim the edges of the dough into a tree shape, creating a large triangle with a trunk at the bottom. Use a star shaped cookie cutter to cut a star from the extra dough for the top of the tree.
- Once you've cut out your tree, make small slices along the sides of the triangle, but not all the way to the center. This should look like a tree trunk with branches. Gently twist the cut pieces, so that the Nutella is visible.
- Brush the top of the dough with melted butter or egg wash. Bake for about 23 minutes, or until the dough starts to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool just enough to handle.

Notes
- Nutrition information is provided as an estimate only.
- Prep Tips:
- To Serve: Dust the top of the Nutella tree with powdered sugar for a festive touch. Best enjoyed while still warm.
- What To Do With The Extra Dough: Use Christmas cookie cutters to cut out stars or gingerbread men with the excess dough on the sides of the tree.
- Substitutions: Nutella spread is a chocolate hazelnut spread, so it does contain tree nuts. It also contains dairy/milk ingredients. A nut-free alternative for the filling would be a plain chocolate spread. Dairy-free alternatives for the filling could be peanut butter, fruit jam, or sunflower seed butter. If you prefer not to use crescent dough (which is similar in taste and texture to refrigerated croissants dough), you could instead use puff pastry sheets.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. To reheat, I recommend placing on a baking sheet in the oven, until warmed through.
