Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 sheet vegan puff pastry, thawed
- Dairy-free milk, for brushing
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Filling
- 4 tablespoons vegan cream cheese
- 2–3 tablespoons powdered sugar (icing sugar)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons strawberry or raspberry jam
Topping
- Fresh red fruits (strawberries, raspberries, or red currants)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prepare for baking the pastries.
- Make Filling: In a bowl, mix the vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a luscious filling.
- Shape Pastry: Lightly roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet. Cut the pastry into rectangles or heart shapes according to your preference. Score a small border inside each piece to help the edges puff up during baking.
- Fill Pastry: Spoon the vegan cream cheese mixture into the center of each pastry piece, then add a layer of strawberry or raspberry jam on top of the cream cheese for a sweet fruity flavor.
- Brush & Bake: Brush the edges of the pastry with dairy-free milk to help them brown beautifully. Place the pastries on the prepared tray and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: After baking, allow the pastries to cool slightly. Then, top them with fresh red fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, or red currants. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed to avoid cracking when cutting and shaping.
- You can customize the jam flavor according to your preference or what is available.
- For a richer taste, let the pastries cool just enough to handle before garnishing to avoid wilted fruits.
- This recipe is entirely vegan-friendly, making it suitable for those avoiding animal products.
