Vegan Strawberry Palmier
You only need four simple ingredients to make these vegan strawberry palmiers. Flaky puff pastry is rolled around a gooey, sweet jam to make the perfect sweet treat. Perfect for parties or Valentine's Day, these are a simple but elegant vegan dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- 3 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon Demerara sugar *optional
Instructions
- If using frozen puff pastry, defrost in the fridge overnight.
- Sprinkle the cane sugar evenly over a cutting board or Silpat mat.
- Lay the sheet of puff pastry on top of the sugar and roll it out to a 15x10 inch rectangle. Trim the edges to ensure you have a perfect rectangle.
- Spread the jam evenly over the puff pastry. Turn the rectangle so that the longest side is facing you, and tightly roll one side to the center the rectangle. Now, repeat on the other side. When the two rolls have met in the middle, gently press the dough together. Wet your finger with a little bit of water and run it down the seam to seal the dough. *see note 1
- Cut the puff pastry roll into ¼ inch pieces. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and transfer your vegan palmiers to the tray, being careful to leave plenty of space between them. They'll puff up in the oven, so be careful to not place them too close together.
- Transfer your baking tray to the freezer for 15 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375° F (190° C).
- Sprinkle the palmiers with Demerara sugar (optional). *see note 2. Bake your palmiers for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the vegan palmiers from the oven and allow them to cool on a cooling rack. Enjoy!
Notes
- Alternatively, you can fold the puff pastry, as opposed to rolling it. This will result in a less rounded, more defined shape.
- Watch the palmiers carefully as the sugar can quickly go from caramelized to burnt.
