Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Gently wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well and set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, unfold the vegan puff pastry sheet and roll it out slightly to smooth any creases. Cut it into 6 equal rectangles.
Place a tablespoon of the strawberry mixture in the center of each rectangle, leaving a border around the edges.
Fold each rectangle in half, sealing the edges by pressing them down with the tines of a fork. Use the fork to poke a couple of small vents on the top of each pastry to allow steam to escape.
Transfer the pastries to the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with plant-based milk for a golden finish.
Bake for 20β25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
While the pastries are cooling, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and water until smooth.
Once the pastries have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top with a spoon or piping bag.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover pastries in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
