These Vegan Love Letter Pastries are flaky, golden puff pastry parcels filled with sweet fruit preserves and topped with a light dusting of powdered sugar. Easy to make and perfect for special occasions or cozy treats, they’re a simple yet elegant vegan dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet vegan puff pastry, thawed
  • ¾ cup fruit jam or preserves (strawberry, raspberry, or apricot)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into equal rectangles.
  3. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth, then stir into the jam.
  4. Spoon a small amount of jam mixture into the center of each pastry rectangle.
  5. Fold the pastry over the filling into a letter-style shape and press edges to seal.
  6. Place pastries on the baking sheet.
  7. Mix plant-based milk and maple syrup, then brush over the tops of the pastries.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until puffed and golden.
  9. Allow to cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Try different fillings like vegan chocolate spread, apple compote, or lemon curd.
  • Add cinnamon or citrus zest to the jam for extra flavor.
  • Freeze unbaked pastries and bake straight from frozen.
  • Use low-sugar fruit spread for a less sweet version.
  • Check that puff pastry is vegan (dairy-free and egg-free).
