Calories: 540kcal
Equipment
- Hand Mixer
Ingredients
Pop Tart Pastry:
- 250 g /2 Cups Plain Flour/All Purpose Flour
- 2.5 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 125 g /0.5 Cup Unsalted Butter
- 5 Tsp Soft Brown Sugar
Pop Tart Filling:
- 8 Tsp Strawberry Jam
- ½ Small Egg egg wash
Pop Tart Topping:
- 2 Tsp Strawberry Jam
- 140 g /5oz Soft Cheese/Cream Cheese
- 5 Tsp Icing Sugar/Confectioners Sugar
Instructions
- Roll out your pastry and get it to moderately thin, as remember it is going to be doubling in size and you don’t want them too thick. Using a knife cut them up into pop tart shapes and add a thin layer of jam to the centre of half of them. Flour the worktop, your hands and your rolling pin so that nothing sticks.
- Using your fingers spread the jam around the piece of pastry leaving a ½ cm gap around the edge, so that you don’t have a jam explosion.
- Place the second layer over the bottom layer and fork the outside edge. Brush with egg wash.
- Place in the air fryer and cook for 7 minutes at 180c/360f.
- In the meantime, make your delicious topping. In a bowl using a hand mixer, mix the icing sugar into the soft cheese. Add in the strawberry jam and mix a little bit more. When the pop tarts have cooled a little pour the mixture over your pop tarts and serve.
Notes
You can use just brown sugar in your sweet pastry, but I find it makes it a bit too bland.
I use a little spare jam to the topping it saves on using red colouring and gives a better flavour and texture.
