Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Vegan puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Raw pistachios (unsalted, shelled)
- 0.5 cup Coconut cream
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To prepare the pistachio filling, place the raw pistachios into a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground.
In a medium bowl, combine the ground pistachios, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Unroll the vegan puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, resulting in a total of 8 squares.
Spoon a generous tablespoon of the pistachio filling into the center of each pastry square.
Fold each pastry square diagonally to form a triangle, then press the edges with a fork to seal them tightly.
Transfer the filled pastries to the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the plant-based milk with the powdered sugar to create a glaze.
Brush the glaze over the top of each pastry with a pastry brush.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your vegan pistachio pastries either warm or at room temperature.
