How to Make Spinach Dip Christmas Tree
Ingredients
- 1 pkg puff pastry thawed for about 40 minutes
- 10 oz frozen spinach thawed & drained
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 5-7 artichoke hearts chopped
- 1 clove garlic finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno finely chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese grated
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
- salt & pepper to taste
Egg Wash
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 400F, line baking sheet with parchment paper and grease it with oil (I used olive or avocado oil).After, finely chop 5 artichoke hearts, 1 garlic clove and 1 jalapeno. Then add them into a mixing bowl.
- Into the same bowl add 10 oz. frozen spinach (thawed & drained very well, it makes about 1/2 cup, packed), 4 oz. cream cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese, salt & pepper, to taste. Mix well with a spoon.
- Next, place puff pastry down onto a baking sheet lined with greased parchment paper. Cut dough into a big triangle (use other two triangle for the top). Then evenly spread half of spinach dip mixture, using other two triangles - place them on top of the spinach dip, pinching the middle to combine two puff pastry sheets into one big triangle.
- Using pizza cutter, cut strips on the sides of the Christmas tree, then twist them two times.
- After, using a small bowl, whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush egg wash over pastry, then bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden color (if it browns too fast, place a foil paper over the top, it will continue the baking process without burning the top).
To Make Spinach Dip Roll Up
- To Make Spinach Dip Roll Up, place second puff pastry sheet on a baking sheet lined with greased parchment paper.
- Evenly spread spinach dip mixture over the dough. Then roll it up and cut into 1/2 inch rolls.
- Arrange spinach dip roll ups on a baking sheet, brush egg wash over the top and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden color. Garnish with finely chopped greens like parsley, over the top (this step is 100% optional). Enjoy!

Happy Cooking!
Could you use crescent rolls instead of the puff pastry?
Hi Jenn, I am not sure, cause I never made it with crescent rolls before.
I made the tree The dough browned and I took it out, but it did not cook well. Under the dip remained doughy and not fully cooked. Also, the pictures make it look so much bigger. I will try it again tomorrow at a lower temp to see if it cooks better, otherwise, I will make the tree by itself and placing the dip next to it for Christmas.
Oh no, sorry about that. I would place a foil paper on top while its baking after it gets golden brown. Thank you for letting me know,I will update the recipe…
Looks really good! How many people does this serve?
After i take it out of the over can I brush butter over the puff pastry or would that be overkill on top of the egg wash? Thanks
Great question, Bridgette! If you like butter I don’t see why not.
Can you get this ready the night before and just pop it in the oven the next day?
Hi Lisa. I haven’t made it a day before, not sure if it will turn out. Maybe you can make the spinach dip ahead then assemble and bake next day… that’s what I would do. Hope this helps!
So does the entire recipe serve 6, or just 1 tree or one spinach roll up?
Great question Laura! It serves around 6 people if used as an appetizer. Hope this helps.
These taste as good as they look! Easy to make. I made two rolls of roll ups. I’d say put the rolls in the fridge for 30 minutes before slicing. I made 1 inch slices and brushed egg wash on top and up sides so the puff pastry would brown nicely all round.
Thank you Beulah! Thank you for sharing these awesome tips.
This was delicious and super easy to make! I only made the tree and saved the extra filling to snack on.
