Puff pastry Christmas Trees with Raspberry Jam




I used a larger star cookie cutter, 1 medium flower cutter, and a smaller star cookie cutter.

Got this creative idea from the Peppridge Farm website. The original recipe calls for pudding in between the layers, but since I wanted to make it vegan, I used raspberry jam. Instead of topping it with a raspberry, I topped it with some sprinkles. I tried putting a raspberry on top, but my top layer was too small.


 
Ingredients:
  • 1 package (17.3 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed
  • 1/3 cup vanilla pudding or Lemon curd
  • 1/3 cup honey, warmed or Green decorating sugar
  • 8 raspberries or maraschino cherry halves
Directions:
  1. Heat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Unfold 1 pastry sheet on lightly floured surface. Cut 4 stars of each size, using 3 star cookie cutters in graduated sizes. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet. Place the 24 stars on baking sheets.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Remove them from the baking sheets and cool on a wire rack.
  4. Top 1 large star pastry with about 1 teaspoon pudding. Top with 1 medium star pastry, turning the star so the points do not line up. Top with about 1 teaspoon pudding and place 1 small star pastry on top, turning it so the points do not line up. Repeat with the remaining star pastries, making 8 trees. Drizzle the trees with honey. Sprinkle with green sugar and top each with a raspberry.
