Vegan Berry Nutella Puff Pastry
ingredients
Sheet of ready rolled puff pastry
Vegan nutella (see notes for other options)
Mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
Icing sugar
method
Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking tray.
Roll out the pastry onto the tray, scoring a line around the edge, 1 inch from the edge. Make a few indents across the pastry with a fork.
Spread a thick layer of nutella across the pastry.
Top with your choice of berries. I went for strawberries and raspberries.
Bake in the oven for around 10-15 minutes, until golden and fluffy.
Dust with icing sugar and your vegan berry Nutella puff pastry is ready to be eaten, hot or cold!
notes
I used Jus-Rol puff pastry and Nature’s Store Hazelnut and Cocoa Spread that I bought in Tesco.
Why not switch the nutella for a cream cheese base? Simply beat together 200g of cream cheese with 100g of icing sugar until soft and smooth. Spread the cream cheese base on the pastry after its been baked and completely cooled, and then top with fruit.
You can make your own vegan nutella if you can’t find it in the shops by blending hazelnuts and cacao (although you need a very powerful blender for this!). But for a simple chocolate-y base, follow the recipe above and just add a few tbsp of cocoa powder.
Try out different varieties of fruit toppings. Bananas would work really well!
