For a tasty dessert, try these vegan tart cherry tartelettes. They have the sweetness of cherries and the flakiness of puff pastry. They'll look great at any event and are sure to impress!

Ingredients: 1 cup tart cherries, pitted. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1 tablespoon cornstarch. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 sheet vegan puff pastry, thawed. Vegan whipped cream, for serving optional. Fresh mint leaves, for garnish optional.

Instructions: Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 375F 190C. Put the tart cherries, maple syrup, and cornstarch in a small saucepan and mix them together. Stir the mixture all the time over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, or until it gets thicker. Taking it off the heat, add the vanilla extract and mix it in. Allow to cool a bit. After letting the puff pastry sheet thaw, cut it into small squares or circles, depending on the tart pans you have. Place the pastry circles or squares in the tart molds and press them into place. Make sure to press the dough up the sides of the molds. Place a cherry mixture in the middle of each sweet treat. The pastry should be baked in a hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down a bit before you serve it. If you want, you can top the tart cherry tartelettes with fresh mint leaves and serve them with vegan whipped cream.
