Before you start
Preheat oven to 200°C l** Microwaveable bowl l **Baking sheet
Make the coffee spread
- Put the plant-based butter, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and espresso powder in the microwavable bowl and mix until smooth
- Set aside
Fill the pastry
- Unroll the pastry on its sheet of baking paper and position it horizontally so the wide edge is nearest you
- Spread the bottom half of the pastry with the Biscoff spread
- Spread the top half with a heaped tablespoon of the coffee spread
- Roughly chop the pecans and scatter two-thirds all over the surface of the pastry, reserving the rest
- Fold the top half of the pastry down to meet the bottom half and seal in the filling
- Roughly pat down
Shape the pastry
- Find the centre of the closest edge to you and cut vertically, stopping 2cm from the furthest edge
- Make 3 more even slices either side so that you have 7 slices and 8 pastry ‘arms’ joined together at the far edge
- Carefully lift the two end pieces and form the pastry into a snowflake shape, letting the pastry overlap at the folded edge
- Lift the pastry on its baking paper onto the baking sheet
- Twist each pastry ‘arm’ evenly about 4 times
Next, bake the pastry
- Put the baking sheet on the middle shelf of the hot oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, until cooked through and golden
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes
Time to serve
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining coffee spread in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make a sauce
- Chop the chocolate, if using
- Either serve the pastry straight from the tray or lift it onto a board on its paper
- Sprinkle over the remaining chopped pecans and the chopped chocolate, if using
- Drizzle over the coffee sauce
- Serve with ice cream and espressos
