Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a sheet of parchment onto a clean work surface.
Unfold one thawed puffed pastry sheet onto the sheet of parchment and remove any paper separating folds of pastry. Using a rolling pin, roll out pastry to seal fold lines and it's rolled out to fit a 9" pie plate/ or cake pan.
Place the 9 " pie plate/cake pan on top of rolled out pastry dough and cut along the the pie plate with a small sharp knife. Remove pie plate. Place the parchment paper with the round dough onto a large sheet pan.
Unfold 2nd puffed pastry and cut out the 9" circle and set the parchment with circle aside.
Spread nutella into center of the pastry circle on baking sheet, leave a 1/2-inch border around circle with no nutella. Place 2nd circle (that was set aside) on top of the nutella. Press together both pieces of puff pastry lightly to seal together.
Place a 2" tiny bowl upside down in the center of circle. Using a sharp knife, start from the bowl and cut through both dough circles outward to edge. (I use the clock method to start. Cut at the 12:00, 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00 to have 4 equal pieces.Cut in between each of the 4 pieces to make 8 equal wedges. Cut in between each of the 8 wedges to make 16 equal wedges.Remove the tiny dish from center. Working with 2 of the wedges: take one wedge and twist 2 times towards the other wedge. Take the 2nd wedge and twist 2 times towards the already twisted wedge. Take both wedge tips and pinch together.Repeat with the remaining wedges until you have 8 tips to the snowflake. Beat together egg & water. Using a pastry brush cover the pastry only with egg wash. NOTE: Do not brush egg over the nutella, it could smear.)
Sprinkle white granulated sugar all on top of the snowflake. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Cool Slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
This was such a delicious and beautiful dessert …will be making it again for Christmas.
