Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Pastry Cutter (Optional)

Ingredients
  

Pop Tart Pastry

  • 1 package pepperidge farm puff pastry 2 sheets
  • ½ cup strawberry jam
  • 1 egg

Icing

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • teaspoon salt
  • colorful sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lay out the first sheet of puff pastry on a clean surface. Cut into 6 even pieces, following the trifold line already existing in the dough.
  • Place a hefty tablespoonful of strawberry jam into the center of each cut rectangle. Spread on the dough, leaving about ½ inch of space from the edge of each pastry.
  • In a small bowl, whisk an egg for the egg wash. Wash the edges of each pastry.
  • Place the second sheet of puff pastry dough on top of the jam covered layer and gently press the edges together. Cut the second sheet of puff pastry on top to match the bottom.
  • Transfer the danishes onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to seal the edges of the pastries together. Use a toothpick to press holes throughout the pastry.
  • Finish the top with more egg wash and bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • While the pastry bakes, make the icing.
  • In a mixing bowl add the powdered sugar and salt and whisk together.
  • Pour in the milk and vanilla, then whisk again until a smooth, slightly thick glaze is formed. If it is a bit too thick add more milk as necessary to get the right consistency.
  • When the pastries are out of the oven allow them to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Pour and spread the frosting over each pastry just like a strawberry poptart and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles on top.
  • Transfer these to a cooling rack and allow the icing to set for at least 5 more minutes before enjoying while still warm!
