Pastry
In a food mixer, mix together the butter with the sugar, gradually adding in the egg and then finally the sieved flours.
Leave it to rest in the fridge for approx. 2 hours then roll out the dough to a thickness of approx. 5 mm. Cut out Christmas tree shapes and cook at 190°C for approx. 15 minutes.
Panna cotta
Put the gelatine in a container of cold water. Heat up the milk, the cream and the sugar, then add the gelatine and mix it all together.
Put it all into the fridge for approx. 3 hours until firm. Cut the panna cotta using the Christmas tree cutter that was previously used for the base. Finish by placing the panna cotta onto the pastry and, using a piping bag, decorate with 10 g of Nutella®
