INGREDIENTS NEEDED:
PASTRY
-
280g spelt flour
-
30g cocoa powder
-
220g chilled vegan butter/margarine
-
Up to 125ml cold water, add 1 tbsp at a time
-
Non-dairy milk for brushing
FILLING
-
120g smooth almond butter
-
2 tbsp cocoa powder
-
2 tbsp maple syrup
-
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
FROSTING
-
180g powdered sugar
-
3-4 tbsp non-dairy milk or water
DIRECTIONS
-
Mix together flour, cocoa powder and vegan butter/margarine in your food processor. Add water 1 tbsp at a time to form a soft pastry.
-
Divide dough in half, roll each piece out to form a rectangle shape between two pieces of parchment paper.
-
Ideally, cut into pieces approximately 5 inches long. Repeat with the remaining piece of pastry. Lay out on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush ½ of the pieces with non-dairy milk using a pastry brush.
-
Mix together filling ingredients in a bowl. Add about 2 tsp worth of the filling, it will be a soft fudge consistency, into the center of the pieces of pastry that you have brushed with non-dairy milk. Lay the other pieces of pastry on top, press down right the way around the sides using a fork to seal in the filling. Brush each pop tart with non-dairy milk, create some air holes in the top of each using a toothpick and then place into the fridge for 20 -30 minutes.
-
Preheat your oven to 180C (350F). Bake the pop tarts for 15 minutes.
-
Allow to cool fully before icing.
-
Mix together all icing ingredients in a bowl. Place 2 of icing on top of each pop tart and sprinkle with sprinkles or cacao nibs if desired. Store at room temperature for up to three days.
