Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Roll out the vegan puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 4-inch squares.
Add the Filling:
Place 1 teaspoon of fruit preserves in the center of each square. If using cornstarch, mix it into the jam first for a thicker filling.
Fold Into Love Letters:
Fold two opposite corners of each square toward the center, slightly overlapping, to form an envelope shape. Press gently to seal.
Brush and Bake:
Lightly brush the tops of the pastries with non-dairy milk for a golden finish. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden and puffed.
Cool and Decorate:
Let the pastries cool for 5–10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and add sprinkles if desired.

Notes

You can substitute the fruit preserves with chocolate spread or nut butter for a different twist.
To make heart-shaped decorations, use a small cookie cutter on the puff pastry scraps and place them on top before baking.
