Chocolate Toaster Pastry with Pink Frosting (Allergy Friendly)

Ingredients

For the Toaster Pastry:

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil (solid)
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk 
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp non-dairy milk
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

For the Pink Frosting:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp non-dairy milk
  • 1-2 drops natural pink food coloring (such as beet juice or dragon fruit powder)

Optional Toppings:

  • Allergy friendly sprinkles

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  2. Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add the non-dairy milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the dough comes together. If it’s too dry, add a little more non-dairy milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  4. Divide the dough into two equal parts, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Make the Filling:

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free chocolate chips, non-dairy milk, and coconut oil.
  2. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

3. Assemble the Toaster Pastry:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out one disc of dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it’s about 1/8-inch thick.
  3. Cut the dough into rectangles (about 3x4 in). Repeat with the second disc of dough.
  4. Place half of the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate filling onto the center of each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
  6. Top each filled rectangle with another rectangle of dough. Use a fork to press the edges together and seal the toaster pastry.
  7. Prick the tops of each toaster pastry with a fork to allow steam to escape.

4. Bake the Toaster Pastry:

  1. Bake the toaster pastry in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are firm and slightly browned.
  2. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

5. Make the Pink Frosting:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, non-dairy milk, and natural pink food coloring until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more powdered sugar or non-dairy milk if needed.

6. Frost the Toaster Pastry:

  1. Once the toaster pastry are completely cool, spread the pink frosting over the tops of each toaster pastry.
  2. Sprinkle with sprinkles if desired.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Allow the frosting to set before serving. Enjoy!
