Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup Vegan Butter Adds richness and flakiness; substitute with non-dairy margarine for vegan options.
  • 2.5 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; for gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend.
  • 6-8 tablespoons Ice Water Must be very cold to help create a flaky texture.
For the Filling
  • 1 jar Blueberry Jam Sweet filling; any fruit jam can be used.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Used for glaze; can be replaced with coconut sugar.
  • 2-3 tablespoons Plant-Based Milk Thins glaze; substitute with any non-dairy milk.

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Ghost-shaped cookie cutter
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Medium bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cut vegan butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually blend in cold ice water until dough forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Roll out the chilled dough to about ⅛ inch thick and cut out ghost shapes using a cookie cutter.
  4. Place half of the ghost shapes on the baking sheet, add a small amount of blueberry jam, brush edges with water, and seal with another ghost shape.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden and flaky. Allow to cool completely.
  6. Whisk together powdered sugar with plant-based milk to create glaze. Drizzle over completely cooled pop tarts and decorate with chocolate for eyes and mouths.

Notes

Ensure not to overwork the dough and use parchment paper for easy cleanup.
