Ingredients Needed
- 1 sheet gluten-free puff pastry (280g / 9.9oz)
- 200g (approx. / 7oz) strawberry jam
- 5 medium strawberries (thinly sliced)
- ½ cup strawberry frosting (optional)
- 180ml (or ¾ cup) vegan whipping cream
- 200g icing sugar (for buttercream, or 1 ¾ cups)
- 100g vegan butter (for buttercream, or ½ cup)
- Dairy-free milk (for brushing)
- Caster sugar (for sprinkling)
- Icing sugar (for dusting, optional)
How To Make Gluten-Free Strawberry Puff Pastry
- Preheat the oven & prepare trays: Preheat the oven to 180°C fan (350°F) and line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.
- Cut the pastry: Unroll the gluten-free puff pastry and cut it into six equal rectangles. Place the rectangles onto the lined baking tray, spacing them apart as the pastry will puff up.
- Brush & sprinkle: Lightly brush the pastries with dairy-free milk and sprinkle caster sugar over the top (optional, but helps the pastry brown better).
- Bake the pastries: Place the trays in the middle of the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the pastries are golden and puffed up. Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack to cool fully.
- Prepare the whipped cream (or buttercream): For the whipped cream, place the vegan whipping cream in a bowl and whip until thick. Transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a star-tip nozzle. For buttercream: Beat the icing sugar and vegan butter together until smooth and creamy, then transfer to a piping bag.
- Assemble the pastries: Slice each cooled pastry in half horizontally. Spread a layer of strawberry jam over the bottom half of each pastry. Pipe the whipped cream around the edges, and if using, pipe a star of strawberry frosting in the center. Add thinly sliced strawberries on top of the cream.
- Top the pastries: Place the other half of the pastry on top of the filled half. Optionally, dust with icing sugar for a finishing touch. If using buttercream, pipe small dollops on the corners before placing the top pastry half.
- Serve & enjoy! Enjoy these sweet, fruity pastries as a delightful treat!
Recipe Tips
- Use cold pastry: Keep the puff pastry cold before baking to ensure it puffs up nicely and stays crispy. If it warms up too much, it might not rise as well.
- Don’t skip the caster sugar: Brushing the pastries with dairy-free milk and sprinkling caster sugar helps them brown evenly and gives a beautiful finish.
- Pipe the cream while fresh: Whipped cream can lose its texture over time, so pipe it onto the pastries as soon as it’s whipped to keep it light and fluffy.
- Slice strawberries thinly: Thin slices will create a more even texture and prevent the strawberries from overpowering the pastry.
- Cool the pastries completely; Let the baked pastries cool fully before adding the filling to prevent the cream from melting.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let any leftover gluten-free strawberry puff pastry cool to room temperature. Once cooled, place it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Freeze: If you want to freeze the pastries, place them in a freezer-safe container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Store for up to 1 month. To serve, thaw the pastries in the fridge overnight before enjoying.
