Description
How to make easy vegan mini valentines day pizzas in the shape of hearts, perfect for sharing with your loved ones!
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of ready roll puff pastry (I use Jus-Rol)
- 1 jar of vegan pesto (I use Sacla Red vegan Pesto)
- Dairy-free cheese (I use Violife)
- Plant based meat alternatives
- Dairy-free milk (if needed)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C fan and line a baking tray with grease proof paper.
- Unroll the pastry sheet, use a rolling pin to roll out any folds or creases.
- Use a medium sized heart shaped cookie cutter to chomp out hearts and place spaced out on the lined baking tray.
- Spread vegan pesto over each pastry heart, leaving a small border around the pastries to prevent overfilling.
- Sprinkle some grated dairy-free cheese over the pesto.
- Use heart plungers or mini heart cookie cutters to chomp out mini shapes from the vegan meat alternatives. Place on each pastry.
- Optional step: Brush dairy-free milk around the edges of the pastry to help with browning and crispiness.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes or until puffed up, golden and cheese cheese has melted.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before plating up.
- Serve with a sprinkle of ground black pepper, basil leaf or drizzle of some hot sauce.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Storage: Storing puff pastry pizzas depends on whether they are baked or unbaked. Best enjoyed fresh, baked day of making.
Baked: Allow to cool, store in an airtight / sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C fan until crisp.
Unbaked: Assemble then freeze on a tray, transfer to a freezer-safe container. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
