How to Prepare:
Cook the chestnuts in a common pot with a pinch of salt, but without the shells with thin skin that covers them for 20 'to 30' minutes
Once cooked, remove the skin and squeeze them with a potato masher or puree in processor.
How to Prepare the Dough:
Place dough in a large bowl of nuts. Add sugar, honey, cocoa powder, vanilla, cocoa liquor, cinnamon powder and cloves.
If the dough is too soft, add milk powder.
Mode Assemble the Christmas tree:
Arrange a board 80 inches wide by 1 meter high, line it with aluminum foil to assemble the tree.
Go put the dough on the board with a modeling knife or with crusty bread (one inch tall).
Wipe the edges with a damp cloth or paper towel.
Put some cherries in the contour tree and others scattered up, along with walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, raisins, marbles peaches and figs, candied fruits.
And if you want to make balls of apricot.
Take the lumps of dates with them and make the tree trunk. 10 X 10 cm.
The model tree is a triangle much is down
Brazil nuts (Brazil), make a point in each, like a pencil, spread in different parts of the tree, and is placed last, to make the candles.
Light the candles of Brazil nuts (Brazil) at supper time.
If you do not want the tree to distribute cups and place in the center cherries, or walnuts.
Serves as pie filling.
The pie dough should already be baked, choose your pasta
Puff pastry, rotten mass, or even cookie dough.
The decor is up to you.
My suggestion for decoration, dry fruits is spreading the Christmas and cherries in syrup (drained).
Disclaimer:
Only the chestnuts ready dough can be frozen. Remove from freezer 12 hours before.
Place in the refrigerator until thawed. Keep the dough in the refrigerator until ready to serve (mount).
Make the tree an hour before serving.
