Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dairy-free puff pastry to smooth any creases. Cut the sheet into six equal rectangles.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until the strawberries are evenly coated and the cornstarch has dissolved.
Place a dollop of the strawberry mixture onto the center of each pastry rectangle, leaving about half an inch of space along the edges.
Fold each rectangle lengthwise over the filling to create a pocket and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal. Use a small knife to cut two or three small slits on top of each pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
Brush the top of each pastry with dairy-free milk to encourage browning and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. If desired, dust the tops with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your dairy-free strawberry pastries!
