I baked this Vegan Raspberry Turnovers for my friend’s dinner party last weekend. The raspberries gave it sweet tart inside, and my book club liked them.
Easy Vegan Raspberry Turnovers
These turnovers are made with fresh or frozen raspberries, sugar, and a touch of lemon juice for brightness, wrapped in a buttery vegan puff pastry. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields 8 turnovers.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 package vegan puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 plant-based milk for brushing (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.
- Roll Out Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the vegan puff pastry into a large rectangle. Cut it into squares (about 4×4 inches each).
- Fill Turnovers: Place a spoonful of the raspberry filling in the center of each square, leaving a border around the edges. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
- Prep for Baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If desired, brush the tops of the turnovers with plant-based milk for a golden finish.
- Bake: Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the turnovers to cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
