Giant Strawberry Frosted Pop Tart

This is one of my favorite brunch or daytime party entertaining desserts! It obviously has so much wow factor but also it tastes so good! Folks go crazy over it. It’s essentially a ginormous hand pie so to serve you just slice into squares! I love how you can customize it based on what you’re craving and the jams or jelly you have on hand. This one is bursting with strawberry flavor! I love how bold and fresh it tastes. And the puff pastry sub for pie crust makes it even that much more flaky and delicious.

Next time I make this I definitely want to stuff it with brown sugar and cinnamon and make a cream cheese frosting kind of like a cinnamon roll brown sugar situation. What do you think? What’s your favorite flavor pop tart?

Giant Strawberry Pop Tart Recipe

by Brandi Milloy

Ingredients

• 1 box Puff Pastry

• 1/4 cup jam

• 1 tsp. cornstarch or arrowroot powder

• Zest from 1 lemon

• 1 egg white, beaten

• 2 cups powdered sugar

• 1 strawberry, smashed

• 1-2 tbsp. milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400F.

2. Roll out puff pasty to flatten slightly. Use a fork to poke holes into it.

3. Into a bowl add jam, cornstarch and zest and mix. Add jam to the center of the puff pastry leaving about 1/2” around the edges. Roll out the other puff pastry to flatten slightly. Layer the 2nd piece of puff pastry on top and press down along the edges. Use a pizza roller to trim the sides of the dough if there is any overlap. Press a fork along the edges of the pop tart to seal. Prick the the top of the dough to create vents and then brush the with egg white.

4. Bake 10 minutes and then check on your pop tart to make sure it’s getting too brown. If it is getting too brown, cover with parchment. Bake 10 more minutes or until golden and cooked through. Cool completely before frosting.

5. To make frosting: mix powdered sugar and strawberry together. Add milk 1 tbsp at a time until desired consistency. Frost pop tart and garnish with sprinkles. Enjoy solo or sharing is caring!
