Preheat the oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess water. Crumble the tofu into a bowl.
Add soy sauce, smoked paprika, and maple syrup to the tofu. Mix well to coat the tofu evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, vegan cream cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Stir the tofu mixture into the cream cheese mixture until thoroughly combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases, and then cut each sheet into four equal triangles.
Place a generous spoonful of the tofu and cheese mixture onto the wide end of each pastry triangle.
Roll the puff pastry from the wide end towards the tip to enclose the filling, forming a crescent shape.
Place each rolled crescent onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the rolls with plant-based milk to encourage browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these Vegan Schinkengipfel warm or at room temperature.
