INGREDIENTS
1x sheet Pampas puff pastry
25x small strawberries
1x cup desiccated coconut
25 white chocolate chips
120g Nutella
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan forced. Thaw 1 sheet of Pampas puff pastry whilst you line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Using a 6cm round biscuit or cookie cutter cut 16 circles, 4 across, 4 down. Lay your circles on the baking paper, brush with egg and bake for 15-20 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden
- Whilst your pastry is in the oven, prep your strawberries by cutting off the green section and creating a flat surface. Make sure they are completely dry. Set aside. Spread a cup of desiccated coconut onto a large plate.
- Once your puff pastry has cooled, spread a layer of Nutella on to the top. Next, take a strawberry and dip it in Nutella or spread a little Nutella around the bottom rim using a butter knife. Then dip your strawberry into the desiccated coconut and place on top of your Nutella puff pastry round. Repeat until you have used all 16 rounds.
- Apply a tiny bit of Nutella to the top of your strawberry Santa hats and add a white chocolate chip. Serve.
