A perfect last-minute dessert – you can top this tart with fresh mint, drizzle it with a chocolate sauce or dust it with icing sugar. I use the most delicious and juicy strawberries, but feel free to mix and match with cherries, rhubarb, and blueberries. All ingredients can be mixed in one bowl—a time saver and easy cleanup! You’re welcome!
Prep Time – 5 minutes
Cook Time – 10 minutes
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 3 Tbsp. white sugar
- 1 sheet vegan puffed pastry
- 30 g dark chocolate
- 1 tsp. vegan butter, melted
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with coconut oil or vegan butter.
- Into a small bowl, add strawberries (or your choice of fruit), sugar and vanilla. Mix and set aside.
- Open puffed pastry on the baking sheet and gently place strawberries throughout, leaving a one-inch border on each side. Avoid adding excess liquid from the berries.
- Fold over the edges, and, using a fork, pierce little marks on all four sides and brush vegan butter onto the edges. This is great for adding a golden colour and it increases crunch.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, place your chocolate, and bake for another 5 minutes until golden brown and extremely fragrant.
- Serve as is or with vanilla ice cream. I recommend enjoying it hot!
