A Giant Homemade Pop Tart
What's not to love about pop tarts? So why not make some homemade ones? While they're not exactly the same, these homemade ones are a cross between a traditional pop tart and a toaster strudel because of the puffy puff pastry instead of the hard shell of the store-bought pop tarts. However, that's what makes it so great!
Made with store-bought puff pastry sheets, they're SO easy to make and the crust is soft and flakey. It only takes a couple minutes to put together, 25 minutes in the oven, and 3 ingredients to make the homemade icing! Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
What You'll Need To Make Homemade Pop Tarts
- puff pastry - made sure to get the butter puff pastry, not vegetable shortening puff pastry. Mine were approximately 9.5" x 10 to 11". I don't roll them out but you are welcome to roll them out to be a little longer.
- strawberry jam
- egg
- icing sugar
- heavy cream
- kosher salt
- sprinkles
How To Make Puff Pastry Pop Tarts
- Heat oven to 410F.
- Unroll a thawed sheet of puff pastry on a greased sheet pan or parchment paper lined sheet pan and spread jam across the puff pastry, leaving around an half inch around the edge.
- Brush a beaten egg on the edge, place the second puff pastry sheet on top, and seal the edges by pressing down with a fork.
- Dock the top of the pastry by piercing it with a fork.
- Brush the top of the puff pastry with the rest of the egg wash.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- While the pop tart is baking in the oven, make the icing in the last 5 minutes by combining the icing sugar, cream, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- When the pop tart is golden and done, remove from heat. Let it rest for 5 minutes before spreading on the icing, I use an offset spatula. Top with sprinkles.
- Let the pop tart cool for another 10-15 minutes or until the icing has harden a bit before cutting and serving.
Recipes Variations
- Make these into individual pop tarts by cutting up each sheet of puff pastry into 6 instead of one giant sheet pan pop tart.
- Swap or mix up the jam filling.
- Add some food colouring to the icing to make it more colourful!
Tips and Notes
- Spreading the icing on while the pop tart is still warm lets the icing melt and coat the pop tart evenly.
- It is important to let the pop tart cool before cutting as the jam is too runny when it's straight from the oven. The icing also needs to cool to harden a bit.
- Make sure the jam you purchase isn't super liquidy/runny.
- These homemade puff pastry pop tarts are best served within a few hours.
