Vegan Strawberry Croissant
Delightfully flaky and brimming with the sweet, juicy flavors of fresh strawberries, these Vegan Strawberry Croissants are the perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Made with store-bought vegan puff pastry, these croissants boast a golden, buttery crust (sans butter!) and are incredibly easy to prepare in just 40 minutes. The filling, a simple mix of diced strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch, adds a vibrant pop of flavor and a gooey texture that contrasts beautifully with the light and crisp pastry. Brushed with almond milk for a flawless finish and optionally dusted with powdered sugar, these plant-based croissants are an indulgent yet dairy-free delight. Serve them warm for a melt-in-your-mouth experience or enjoy them at room temperature - either way, they promise to be the star of your table!

Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet (thawed as per package instructions) Vegan puff pastry
- 1 cup (hulled and finely diced) Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Almond milk
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside for 5 minutes to let the juices thicken.
Unroll the vegan puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into 6 equal-sized triangles.
Place a small spoonful of the strawberry mixture at the wide base of each triangle. Be careful not to overfill to avoid leakage during baking.
Starting from the wide base, gently roll each triangle towards the tip to form a crescent shape. Tuck the edges slightly to secure the filling.
Transfer the croissants to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Brush the tops with almond milk for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the croissants are puffed and golden brown.
Let the croissants cool for 5-10 minutes before dusting them with powdered sugar, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your flaky Vegan Strawberry Croissants!
