Ingredients

8pieces

1 sheet puff pastry (about 230 g / 8 oz)
2 tbsp (about 30 ml) pesto, homemade or ready-made
2 tbsp grated Parmesan
Flour, for the board
Homemade pesto: 120 ml (1/2 cup) olive oil
Homemade pesto: 30 g (1 oz) grated Parmesan
Homemade pesto: 1 garlic clove, peeled, green germ removed
Homemade pesto: about 20 basil leaves
Homemade pesto: salt and pepper

Method

Switch the oven on to 190 °C (375 °F).
For a homemade pesto, blend the olive oil, Parmesan, garlic, basil, salt and pepper in the Tupperware SuperSonic Chopper Compact by pulling the cord until the texture is smooth.
Cut the pastry into 8 tall triangles, lay them on the lightly floured Tupperware Flexible Cutting Board and slit each long edge on the diagonal, leaving the centre strip whole.
Move the triangles onto a silicone baking sheet resting on the cold oven shelf, then gently twist each cut strip to shape the branches.
Coat the trees with 2 tbsp pesto using the Tupperware Silicone Brush, scatter over the Parmesan and bake for about 12 minutes until golden.
