How to make this pull-apart Christmas tree

First, you need to prepare the filling by frying together in olive oil some shallots, frozen spinach, artichokes, garlic and some seasoning.

You can then make the cashew cream by whizzing together in a blender the soaked cashew, lemon juice and water.

Once the cashew cream is mixed with the vegetables, you will need to roll out the first puff pastry and spread the filling on top.

Then place the second puff pastry sheet on top.

With a very sharp knife cut out a Christmas tree shape using the leftover pastry to cut out other shapes such as stars.

Cut 2.5cm / 1 inch thick branches on each side leaving a gap for the trunk in the middle. Carefully twist each branch onto itself to create torsades. Brush the base of one of the stars with water and place it on top of the tree. Brush the tree (and extra shapes) all over with chilli oil and place everything in the oven for around 20 minutes until golden.

Once the pull-apart Christmas tree is done, sprinkle some chilli flakes and pink peppercorns all over and serve them. Enjoy!
