This easy vegan strawberry puff pastry tart prepped in minutes makes the perfect summertime dessert or addition to any brunch. The sweetness from the strawberries pours into the pastry, making each bite taste like a sunny day. Delicious all on its own but perfectly pairs with vegan vanilla ice cream!
Ingredients
- 2 cartons of fresh strawberries
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- ¼ cup organic cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package of puff pastry sheet - packages usually have two, use them separately, making two tarts versus making one large rectangle tart
- Vegan vanilla ice cream
- Optional: plant milk for brushing - egg wash replacement
- Optional: fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- Allow the store-bought puff pastry to thaw per package instructions. Be sure to read the ingredients to ensure that it's vegan. You'll typically get two pastry sheets in a package; keep them separate for two pastry tarts versus one large rectangle.
- Preheat the oven per package instructions (350ºF/180ºC). Once thawed, sprinkle some flour onto your work surface and roll the puff pastries out to ensure no sticking. Fold each edge of the pastry inward about one inch to create a barrier for the filling. Not totally needed, but if desired, you can brush the outer edge of the pastry shell with plant milk as an egg wash replacement.
- Transfer pastry tarts onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Slice the fresh strawberries and add them to a small bowl. Add all filling ingredients to the bowl with the strawberry slices, stir until combined, and then transfer into the pastry square.
- Place tarts in the oven per recommended time, usually 15-20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
- While the pastry bakes crack open the vanilla ice cream! Once done baking, allow the pastry to cool, then using a sharp knife, cut into small squares and serve with a scoop of ice cream!
