Method

1
With this recipe, you can make 6 dark chocolate trees and the same number of pistachio trees. If you want them all to be the same, double the amount of ingredients for your chosen coating.
2
Thaw the cheesecakes at room temperature for about 2 hours and cut each into six pieces with a sharp knife.
3
Chop the nuts. Place 1/2 dl of the pistachio paste into a small piping bag or freezer bag.
4
Melt the chocolates in separate bowls in the microwave or in a water bath. Stir the pistachio spread into the white chocolate. Warm the chocolates gently again if they start to set.
5
Dip half of the cheesecake pieces in the dark chocolate and half in the pistachio chocolate. Pipe the pistachio paste on top of the dark pieces. Spoon some dark chocolate and drizzle it over the light pieces. Decorate with chopped pistachios or snowflake sprinkles. Insert a pretzel stick to act as the trunk.
