vegan Christmas Tree Puff Pastry with Chestnut Mushrooms

I would like wish all my dear blog readers: new and old a very Merry and Happy Christmas.
This is not Christmas Dinner by the way, I made this a couple of days back. 
I garnished the Christmas Tree Puff Pastry platter with some ribbon carrots and Brussels Sprouts baubles and some fresh herbs that blew when we took it out in the garden for a photograph.  
In case your wondering, here is the Christmas Tree in our home with lots of eclectic ornaments hanging from it, including some wooden spoons, hedgehog, Frida Kahlo and a lady in a sari  carrying a pineapple (from a fair trade shop) and finally baby Jesus held by Mary.  The tree went up on the 1st December. 


The filling in this Christmas Tree Puff Pastry can be anything, from ratatouille to curry filling, but I have used Nadine Abensur's Mushroom Wellington filling from The Cranks Bible.   Here's the link that will also take you to Nadine Abensur's website as well.  
For how, I would like to refer you to Vegan Spinz, one of my favourite vegan food bloggers that is no longer blogging or perhaps is just taking 'time out'.  I do miss her blogging, but am thankful that her blog is still accessible as I have had her  Vegan Spinz Christmas Tree blog post bookmarked for a while and am so pleased to finally make it now.  A note though, my Christmas Tree puff pastry were a big more larger to share between 2,  8 inch by 8 inch. 
I am sharing the Christmas Tree Puff Pastry Chestnut Mushrooms with Inheritance Recipes co hosted by Solange at Pebble Soup and Coffee and Vanilla as this Chestnut filling in the puff pastry tree is one I make every year, either for the festive season or when I have a large gathering of friends and family around.

    This looks brilliant and I am glad you showed how to make it as I will have to try this next year - the presentation is really lovely as well and makes me wish we had fresh cranberries any time of year. Hope you had a lovely christmas.

      Thank you so much Johanna. Mine were not that perfect, still I was pleased - you can follow the link for better instructions of course. I try to make the most of fresh cranberries, they are sadly not around that long.
