Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the vegan puff pastry sheets as per package instructions. Once thawed, unfold them gently.
Cut each pastry sheet into 8 equal rectangles.
Place each rectangle on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add vegan butter and sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Add coconut cream, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the saucepan, stirring until well combined.
Create a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water until smooth, then pour it into the saucepan.
Continue to stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.
Using a fork, gently prick holes in each pastry rectangle to prevent puffing in the oven.
Bake the puff pastry rectangles in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown and puffy.
Remove pastries from oven and allow them to cool slightly before slicing them in half horizontally.
Once cool, generously fill each pastry with the prepared vegan vanilla cream.
Lightly dust powdered sugar over the top for added sweetness and a decorative finish.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
