Alright guys so the week is not quite over yet, but nonetheless it has been a hectic two weeks. More about that to come in another post. I promise it's a good kind of hectic/crazy.
In other news I've finally mustered up the courage to give this Mini Pop-Tart recipe a try that has been on my mind since I first stumbled upon it on Pinterest. Now, me personally I'm not that much of a baker although I am warming up to it since my most recent success. Anyway onto the recipe; it is super easy and it was a pretty big hit! It does help that they are the cutest little tarts ever. Below I will share my version of the recipe using frozen pre-made pie crust. I hope you guys enjoy!
- 1 box frozen pie crust (comes with 2 rolls, this yields 9 mini pop-tarts)
- 1/2 cup fruit preserves (you can also use nutella, fluff, etc.)
- 1/2 squeezed lemon
- 1 egg (to make egg wash)
- cream cheese (I used whip to measure with ease)
- sprinkles
- gel food coloring (2-3 drops)
- 3/4 cup confectioners sugar
Supplies:
-fork
-parchment paper/non stick baking sheet
Directions:
1. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Unroll the pie crust onto a clean, dry surface. At this point I inspected my pie crust which did have some cracks so I decided to cut away those cracks and to make things event I cut the crust into a square shape.
3. Evenly cut your crust into 4 long strips. Again cutting those into smaller rectangles. Keep in mind you'll need two small rectangles to make (1) pop-tart.
4. Crack your egg into a small bowl, whisk it. Using a brush, dip it into the egg wash and brush the surface of rectangle.
5. Next, put a small dollop of your filling onto the crust. Try not to put too much as you still need to be able to close the edges. Apply the egg wash to the other piece of crust and set on top. Using your finger tips press down along the edge of your newly formed pop-tart.
6. Taking a fork you want to press down along the edges like you would with raviolli to give your minis that signature pop-tart look.
7. Once you've finished putting together all your mini pop-tarts set them on either a non-stick baking sheet or one lined with parchment paper.
8. Put in the oven for 15 minutes, let cool.
9. In a bowl; mix 1 tablespoon cream cheese, 3/4 cup confectioners sugar, the juice from half a lemon. Add 2-3 drops of gel food coloring if desired. Apply frosting to pop-tarts
10. Add sprinkles, Enjoy!!
