Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and vegan ground beef, cooking for 5-7 minutes until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, baby spinach, basil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Unroll the vegan puff pastry on a floured surface. Spread the vegan cream cheese evenly over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border.
Spread the cooled vegan beef mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Gently roll the pastry from one edge to the other, creating a tight log. Cut the log into 1-inch slices to create pinwheels.
Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops of the pinwheels with dairy-free milk to encourage browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
