November 4, 2019 By Jenae 4 Comments

Delicious Veggie Pizza Christmas Trees

 

This is a wonderful alternative for sugary desserts and treats this holiday season- perfect for parties, school snacks, or just a fun appetizer!  The crescent bottom is the perfect canvas for a spray of colorful veggies!

These are officially endorsed by 4 of my 5 family members…and cautiously tolerated by one child.  🙂  Honestly, I don’t understand how someone could not like this amazing way to eat vegetables!

 

Crescent Dough Sheet

1. Roll out the dough sheet.

2.  Use a Christmas tree cookie cutter to cut out the pieces of dough.  You can use a rolling pin to roll out the remnants to create more trees, but they will have a different shape once they have been re-rolled (they seem to be puffier and a slightly different texture once baked).

3.  Place the trees on a cookie sheet and place them in a preheated oven at 375 degrees.

4.  Bake 12-15 minutes, or until the trees are golden.  I cooked mine slightly longer so that they were a bit crispier than normal crescents.  Let sit until cooled.

5.  Gather your supplies for the “frosting”.  🙂  I was making this up as I was going along, so I started with 4 ounces of cream cheese and a handful or two of spinach…

6.  Put the ingredients in a food processor or blender.  We love our Ninja!

I quickly realized that I needed to add something more “liquidy” to get the right consistency…

7.  Add a tablespoon of sour cream and a teaspoon of dry ranch dressing/dip mix.  Add more sour cream as needed to get the right texture and add more ranch dressing to taste.

Ahh…that’s better.  A creamy consistency is what I was going for.

8.  Spread the frosting cream cheese mixture on top of the cooled Christmas trees.

9.  Finely dice some veggies.  I used a red bell pepper, a carrot, and an onion.

    We made this tonight, but simplified it a little. We already had a tube of regular crescents so we just used the triangles as our trees. We frosted them and set toppings out for decorating. Everyone LOVED them and kiddos were piling veggies on to decorate their trees! Thanks for an easy and fun recipe -next time we’re doubling it!

      So glad to know your family loved them! Mine did too…they were gone in less than 24 hours! I think my toddler alone ate 4 or 5. 🙂
