Nutella and Cherry Tear and Share

Ingredients:  

  • 2 Puff Pastry Sheets
  • 3-4 tbsp. Nutella
  • 2-3 tbsp. Fruit Preserves like Cherry, Raspberry, or Strawberry
  • 1 Beaten Egg mixed with 2 teaspoons water
  • Powdered Sugar for dusting

Instructions: 

  • Let store-bought puff pastry squares defrost for 40 minutes to one hour at room temperature.
  • Preheat to oven to 400 degrees. When the pastry is defrosted, but still very cold, we are ready to go.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry square just enough to fit a 9-or 10-inch round template. (Use a pie pan or tart pan as the template)
  • Cut the pastry around the template.
  • Repeat with the second piece of puff pastry.
  • Transfer one of the pastry circles - parchment and all - to a large sheet tray.
  • Spread Nutella all the way to the edges of the pastry circle.
  • Then spread preserves over the Nutella, leaving about a 1/2 border around the outer edge.
  • Lay the second circle of pastry on top and score the center with a shot glass or a small cookie cutter.
  • Then, use a sharp knife to make cuts outward from the scored circle in the center. Then, use a sharp knife to make cuts outward from the scored circle in the center. Each half of the pastry should have 6 star points. So start by making center cuts. Then, make quarter cuts. Then make 2 cuts in each quarter – creating three star points per each quarter.
  • Take one star point in each hand and twist the star points toward each other. Repeat with the rest of the star points.
  • Brush the tops and sides of the star with egg wash.
  • Bake the Nutella and Cherry Tear and Share for 18-23 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden and is baked through.
  • Let the pastry cool for about 5 minutes, then use a large spatula or aluminum pizza peel to transfer to a serving plate.
  • Then dust the star with powdered sugar.
