Step 1

In a pot, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and coconut water. Cook on low heat until it starts to thicken. Constantly stir making sure there is no lumps.

Step 2

Once it has thickened, add the butter, sugar, and buko pandan extract. Continue cooking until the butter is melted and the sugar has dissolved.

Step 3

I’m a bowl add the buko and the thick sauce, and mix until well combined. Cover in plastic wrap, making sure the film makes contact with the filling. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 4

While the filling is in the refrigerator, take the puff pastry out of the freezer to thaw.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 375* F

Step 6

Once the pastry is thawed and the filling is chilled, it is time to assemble. Lay out one sheet of pastry. Top it with the filling. Spread evenly, then top it with the other pastry sheet.

Step 7

Now cut the pastry into a Christmas tree. Scoring the dough first helps to make a symmetrical tree. Once the tree is cut, cut slits on the sides of the tree all the way to the top, about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

Do not throw away the scraps. Cut them into strips and serve it along side the Christmas tree.

Step 9

When the slits are all cut, give them all a twist.

Step 10

Put a dollop of mayonnaise on the pastry and brush it all over including the branches. The works just like egg wash since mayo is mostly made of eggs. Sprinkle with coconut flakes and bake for 25 -30 minutes, or until golden brown.
