Puff Pastry Christmas Trees

Puff pastry cut into evergreen tree shapes are baked and filled with pudding. Let the kids help decorate the "trees" with colored sugar and cherry halves before devouring.

1 package (17.3 oz.) Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (2 sheets)

1/3 cup prepared vanilla pudding

OR lemon curd

1/3 cup honey, warmed

Green decorating sugar

8 raspberries or maraschino cherry halves

  • Thaw pastry sheets at room temperature 40 min. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Unfold 1 pastry sheet on lightly floured surface. Cut 4 stars of each size, using 3 star cookie cutters in graduated sizes*. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet. Place stars on baking sheets.
  • Bake 10 min. or until golden. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire rack. 
  • Top 1 large star pastry with about 1 tsp. pudding. Top with 1 medium star pastry, turning star so points do not line up. Top with about 1 tsp. pudding and place 1 small star pastry on top, turning so points do not line up. Repeat with remaining star pastries, making 8 "trees". Drizzle "trees" with honey. Sprinkle with green sugar and top each with a raspberry.

    These have become part of our Christmas tradition. We even leave two out on Christmas Eve for Santa. We have changed it over the years. We use snow flake cookie cutters instead of stars, vanilla icing instead of pudding, confectioners sugar, and color sprinkles to look like lights. My eight year old daughter looks forward to making these every year.

    These are great and go very quickly at Christmas. Now I make them every Christmas and everybody loves them. I have gotten many compliments on them.
