Puff Pastry Christmas Trees
from Campbell's Kitchen
Thaw Time: 30 min.
Prep Time: 30 min.
Bake Time: 10 min.
1 pkg. Pepperidge Farm(R) Frozen 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
Directions:
THAW pastry sheets at room temperature 30 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.
To assemble trees, top large star pastry with about 1 tsp. pudding.
Top with medium star pastry, turning star so points do not line up. Top
with 1 tsp. pudding and place 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. Makes 8 pastries.
A set of star-shaped cookie cutters can be ordered from Cooking.com or
cut 3 star patterns (2", 2 1/2" and 3") from cardboard. Place on dough
and cut with a knife.
Kitchen Clip:
Before measuring the honey, spray the measuring spoon or cup with
vegetable spray so the honey will slip out easily. Warm it in the microwave.
