Raspberry White Chocolate Pop Tarts
Raspberry White Chocolate Pop Tarts

This home-made Raspberry White Chocolate Pop Tarts Recipe will have you reminiscing about your childhood. Buttery shortcrust pastry filled with fresh raspberry jam and melted white chocolate will prove the easy treat you have been waiting for.

Store bought pop tarts that you threw in the toaster were a food item that we all hankered for as a kid … but in reality weren’t that great for you (hello packed full of sugar). This home-made version is the best alternative to those store-bought nasties. Imagine melt in your mouth buttery pastry filled with fresh raspberry jam and a melting chunk of white chocolate. I kid you not, these are easy and delicious and made in small batch quantities that can easily be doubled.

How to Make Raspberry White Chocolate Pop Tarts

I make mine with Sweet Short Crust Pastry. I adore making pastry as I find the process quite therapeutic. And if you prefer homemade then make sure to check out my recipe here. I make the full quantity of pastry and then cut it in half, I then use half for this small batch recipe and freeze the other half. If you’re going to the effort of making pastry, doing this is a great option- I mean you can pull out that second half of pastry whenever you have another hankering for pop tarts!

However, that being said if you don’t have the time, patience or inclination to make home- made pastry, then buy some. Go store bought. Seriously, I just want you to make this recipe in the easiest way possible for YOU.

Step 1:

Roll out dough to approx 40cmx30cm and then cut 12 small rectangles measuring 11cmx7cm. It makes 6 pop tarts. I used a ruler, but free hand it if you like. The rectangles can be whatever size you like, as long as you get an equal number so that you have ‘bottoms’ and ‘tops’ to the pop tarts. Then stamp half of the rectangles with a small cookie cutter. (Or just cut a cross in the centre). These rectangles are your ‘tops’ and the cut outs are the steam holes.

Step 2:

On the ‘bottom’ rectangles, brush with egg wash all the way around the edge. Dollop a couple of teaspoons of jam into the centre, add a couple of chunks of white chocolate and then add fresh raspberries (the fresh raspberry is totally optional and only is you have them!)

Step 3:

Place the ‘tops’ over the dough, jam and chocolate rectangles and using your finger tips press down all around the edge. Then using the tines of a fork press the edges together. The shape of the pop tart can go a bit irregular at this point so to neaten them up I ran a knife all around to trim the edges. (But that’s the neat freak coming out in me … you don’t need to do this)

Step 4:

Place the pop tarts on a lined baking tray and brush the tops with egg wash. Refrigerate baking tray for 30 minutes. Then bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly browned. Note: refrigerating the dough helps chill the butter and then prevent spreading in baking.

Step 5:

Drizzle melted white chocolate over the baked pop tarts and then dive in. Eat whilst they are hot or let them cool down and enjoy.

To Store your Pop Tarts

Store in an air tight container for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.

If you want to warm them up then place in a pre-heated oven for 5-10 minutes.

To Freeze the Pop Tarts

Once baked and cooled then freeze in an air tight container for up to 3 months.

To thaw, place in the refrigerator to de-frost then bake in a pre-heated oven for 10 minutes until the pastry is warm and crunchy.

What other Flavour Pop Tarts Can you Make?

Strawberry and Cream Cheese: Stir vanilla extract into the cream cheese then dollop cream cheese and strawberry jam into the middle

Blueberry with Lemon: Add lemon zest to your pastry dough before rolling out and then fill with blueberry jam

Banana Caramel: Dollop caramel and then add slices of fresh banana

Chocolate Orange: Orange marmalade with dark chocolate squares…can you imagine the taste of that!!

Brown Sugar Cinnamon: If cinnamon is your thing (its not mine but I know I’m in the minority!), then Sally makes a great brown sugar cinnamon combination.

Can you see where I am going here? Raspberry White Chocolate Pop Tarts are just the tip of the ice-berg when it comes to flavour combinations. You can fill them with whatever takes your fancy. Get imaginative!

Description

Easy to make home-made Raspberry White Chocolate Pop Tarts combine buttery, flaky pastry with sweet jam and melting white chocolate. These are WAY better than the store-bought variety!

THIS RECIPE CAN BE DOUBLED TO MAKE 12-14 POP TARTS


Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Short Crust Pastry

170g raspberry jam

70g white chocolate, broken into chunks 

Punnet fresh raspberries, optional

1 egg, beaten for egg wash

To decorate

30g white chocolate, melted


Instructions

  1. Make one batch of Sweet Short Crust Pastry. Once you have made the dough and just brought it together on your work surface, prior to resting in the fridge, halve the dough. Wrap one half and refrigerate for 30 minutes minimum, this is the one we’ll be using for these pop tarts. Wrap the other half well in cling wrap and freeze for another time.
  2. Once the dough has chilled for the 30 minutes or more, remove from the fridge and let come to room temperature for 20 minutes until it can be rolled. Pre-heat oven to 180C/350F. On a floured surface roll the dough out and cut into 11cm x 7cm rectangles. Ensure that you have an even number of rectangles. In the centre of half of the rectangles, using a mini cookie cutter, stamp out or merely cut small crosses (these are steam vents and the ‘tops’ of your pop tarts). 
  3. For the remaining rectangle, these are your ‘bottoms’, brush around the perimater of each rectangle with egg wash. Place a heaped teaspoon of raspberry jam and a couple of squares of white chocolate into the centre of each rectangle ‘bottom’.  Optional, add 1 to 3 fresh raspberries too.
  4. Then place the ‘tops’ of dough over the top of the raspberry and white chocolate and press down around the edges with your fingers. Using the tines of a fork, press down into the pastry edges creating a seal. (Optional. If the rectangles become miss-shapen then trim the edges with a knife to neaten then up)
  5. Place on a lined baking tray and brush each pop tart with egg wash. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Bake pop tarts for 25 – 30 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Melt remaining white chocolate in the microwave in 10 second bursts. Drizzle over the top of the hand pies. Serve immediately or once cooled down.

Notes

Prep Time does not include the making of the dough as using store bought is also an option.

White chocolate is optional. You could just have raspberry handpies and once the tops are brushed with egg wash then sprinkle golden sugar – this will give it great crunch.

To store. Place in an airtight container and store at room temp for up to 3 days or in a fridge for up to 6 days.

Now let’s talk progression- swipe right for my new rhubarb cake images as opposed to two years ago when I initially photographed this recipe. Worlds apart! How did I progress? 
1. Invested in myself by attending @foodtographyschool . I needed help and I turned to an expert for it instead of spending months/years mindlessly searching on u-tube.
2. Practice everyday - think about composition, understand the light you have to work with, know the message you are trying to portray. All skills that you can be taught but it’s up to you to develop them and progress. 
✨
After 18 months of hard graft, I landed a cook book deal. Without learning and then practicing my craft there is no way that dream would have been realised so quickly.
