Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pastry and Filling
  • 320 grams ready rolled puff pastry Light and flaky for a delightful crunch.
  • 125 ml vegan whipping cream Rich and creamy, plant-based.
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract Enhances sweetness of the cream.
  • 100 grams fresh strawberries Adds freshness and color.
  • 2 tbsp icing sugar Adds sweetness and decoration.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C and line a cookie sheet with baking paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry to a large rectangle, then fold it in half. Use a 4-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts, aiming for about 8.
Baking
  1. Place the cut-out hearts on the prepared cookie tray and bake for 9-10 minutes until they puff and turn golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Whipping Cream
  1. In a large bowl, combine the vegan whipping cream and vanilla extract, then whip until soft peaks form.
Assembly
  1. Slice each heart in half, pipe whipped cream onto the base, add sliced strawberries, top with more cream, and place the other half on top.
  2. Sprinkle icing sugar over the assembled pastries and serve immediately.

Notes

Try infusing the vegan cream with flavors like almond extract or orange zest. Substitute strawberries with other fruits like raspberries or blueberries. Ensure puff pastry is cold from the fridge before baking for best results.
