These Vegan Love Letter Pastries are light, flaky, and filled with your favorite jam, making them a delightful treat for any occasion. Perfect for a sweet snack or dessert, these elegant pastries are a hit for those with dietary restrictions and anyone who loves a good pastry.

Ingredients

  • Vegan puff pastry – 1 sheet (typically, a standard sheet of frozen puff pastry is around 10×10 inches, which should be enough for several pastries)
  • Jam of your choice (e.g., raspberry, apricot, or strawberry) – 1/4 cup (or about 4 tablespoons, depending on how much filling you want inside each pastry)
  • Powdered sugar – 2-3 tablespoons (for dusting)
  • Vegan butter – 2 tablespoons (optional for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Puff Pastry: Thaw frozen puff pastry and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to ensure even thickness.
  2. Cut the Pastry: Cut the pastry into squares or rectangles (about 4×4 inches).
  3. Add the Filling: Spoon a small dollop of jam onto the center of each pastry square.
  4. Fold the Pastry: Fold the pastry into a triangular or envelope shape, pressing the edges with a fork to seal the jam inside.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and puffed up.
  6. Add the Finishing Touch: Cool the pastries for a few minutes, brush with melted vegan butter, and dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Use cold puff pastry for the best flaky texture.
  • Experiment with different jams, fruit preserves, or nut butter for variations.
  • A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg can be added to the jam before folding for extra flavor.
