strawberry chia turnovers // tahini maple drizzle

Who wouldn't want to know how to make pastries in under 30 minutes? 

These are so stupid easy to make - simple ingredients with semi impressive results with little effort.

Perfect to make in a pinch for Brunch or Mothers Day.

They could be a lifesaver one day.

Date Sugar makes yet another appearance and does not disappoint - if you don't have date sugar you can absolutely use pure maple syrup.

I love the macadamias but almonds would also work really well with the Strawberries.

I can hardly believe it is almost strawberry season! Our local strawberries start popping up around mid June - the strawberries at the store are looking pretty fine and they taste good, but nothing beats locally grown.

A quick jam is made in about 10 minutes with strawberries, chia seeds + date sugar.

Store bought vegan puff pastry is your secret weapon.

A simple glaze of tahini and maple with powdered sugar is drizzled over the cooled pastries, then topped with chopped Macadamias.

Perfect with a cup of tea - just a tad sweet, however consider yourself warned // the tahini maple glaze is super addicting...I may or may not have poured the leftover drizzle straight into my mouth.

Strawberry Chia Turnovers //  Tahini Maple Drizzle
makes 12 turnovers

you will need:
for the turnovers

2 cups strawberries // hulled + quartered

1 tbsp date sugar
1-2  tbsp water
2 tbsp white chia seeds

1 sheet thawed vegan puff pastry  (kept  cold until ready to use) // rolled into a 14 x 11 rectangle
(Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets)

for the glaze

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp tahini

1 tsp maple syrup - now

1 tbsp non dairy milk

1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts 

assembly:
Pre heat oven to 425 degrees F

In a sauce pan over medium heat, add  quartered strawberries, date sugar + water. Bring to a simmer, stirring and breaking up the strawberries with the back of a wooden spoon, Cook for 5 -8 minutes until berries begin to breakdown- you still want some of the berries to hold shape.

Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds, set aside to cool while you prep the puff pastry dough.

On a well floured surface roll out 1 puff pastry sheet to a 14" x 11" rectangle. Using a pastry cutter or knife cut the rectangle (the long way) into 2 halves. Cut into 6 squares. The cut each square into 2 triangles.

Place about 1 tbsp or so of the jam onto onside of the triangle. Fold over meeting corner with corner creating another triangle. Fold the 3 sides up sealing each side (see photos).

Place triangles on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

Remove from oven and cool.

To make the drizzle, mix all ingredients in a bowl until smooth and creamy.

Drizzle Maple Tahini over the cooled pastries and sprinkle with chopped macadamia nuts.

Serve the same day + store leftovers in the Fridge.

Enjoy!
