Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 sheet of store bought puff pastry (vegan)
- 3 tablespoons of dairy-free milk (any variety such as almond, soya, cashew, or oat)
- 50g of dairy-free butter (softened)
Filling
- 1 pack of regular Oreo cookies, approximately 160g (mini Oreos can be used)
Topping (Optional)
- Additional crumbled Oreo cookies
- Melted dairy-free white chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C fan (approximately 356°F) and line two large baking trays with greaseproof paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Unroll the vegan puff pastry sheet, keeping the baking paper underneath. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten any wrinkles and lightly dust with flour if the pastry feels sticky.
- Make Oreo Paste: Place the Oreo cookies into a small food processor or blender and blitz until finely ground. Add the softened dairy-free butter and mix until it forms a smooth, paste-like consistency.
- Assemble Parcel: Spread the Oreo butter paste evenly over one half of the pastry sheet, covering the corners completely. Carefully lift the plain side of the pastry and fold it over the filling to create a folded parcel.
- Cut and Shape Swirls: Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the pastry parcel into strips of your desired width. Twist each strip gently, then roll each twisted strip into a spiral swirl shape.
- Arrange on Tray: Place the swirls on the prepared baking trays, spacing them at least three inches apart to allow for the pastry to puff and expand during baking.
- Brush with Dairy-Free Milk: Lightly brush the tops and sides of each swirl with dairy-free milk. This step encourages an attractive golden color and a flaky texture.
- Optional Topping: Sprinkle extra crumbled Oreo cookies on top of each swirl to add extra texture and flavor, if desired.
- Bake: Place one tray at a time into the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
- Cool and Repeat: Remove the baked tray from the oven and bake the second tray using the same method. Allow the swirls to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve: Drizzle with melted dairy-free white chocolate for an elegant finish and enjoy these delicious vegan treats warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can use any variety of dairy-free milk such as almond, cashew, soy, or oat milk.
- For best results, use vegan-certified puff pastry and dairy-free butter.
- If the puff pastry feels sticky while rolling out, dust it lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- Twisting the pastry strips gently helps create distinct swirl shapes and layered texture.
- Let the swirls cool slightly before drizzling with melted dairy-free white chocolate to avoid melting it off.
- These swirls are best enjoyed fresh the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
