    Easy Puff Pastry Jam Tarts Recipe

    The flavor of this dish ultimately depends on the jam you will be choosing to use, which makes the recipe flexible as you can definitely use any flavor of jam to your liking.

    I like to use strawberry jam, which complements the mild taste of the puff pastry. These tarts also have a delicate and rich flavor. In my opinion, this dish is something you should try. A winner both in taste and texture, you have no reason to say no to making this snack!

    They are also good treats for children. Since this recipe can easily become the favorite of children, a child party should also serve batches and trays of these tarts.

    This is my go-to recipe for an easy breakfast or snack! I like to serve them with a cup of Thyme Tea in the morning.

    What's in This Recipe?

    Puff Pastry. It will be used as the base for the recipe; it will be the ones responsible for holding the jam in place. Puff pastry is light and flaky and has a delicateness and buttery taste that easily complements the flavor of any jam you will use.

    Jam. The jam I used in this recipe is strawberry, but feel free to use any jam to your liking. The flavor of the jam is the main taste of this recipe, and they are important to really give context to the dish, otherwise, the whole recipe will just be flaky and buttery with no other taste.

    Powdered Sugar. Sweeten your Puff Pastry Jam Tarts by sprinkling powdered sugar on top once baking is done.

    “See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.”

    Variations & Substitutions

    • Use blueberry jam for the recipe instead of the classic strawberry jam, and then top it with chopped blueberries rather than the typical powdered sugar.
    • If powdered sugar is not available in your cupboard, you can substitute it with granulated sugar. Granulated sugar will also do the trick of sweetening the dish.
    • You may brush melted butter around your puff pastry sheets. By doing this, you will be giving each Puff Pastry Jam Tart a shiny and almost golden appearance.

    How to Make Puff Pastry Jam Tarts?

    steps of making the recipe by photos

    One: Preheat the oven to 180C/ 356F.

    Two: Cut the puff pastry sheet into even squares, then score a small square in the middle and add a teaspoon of jam in the small square.

    Three: Place the jam tarts onto a baking sheet.

    Four: Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, then sprinkle the powdered sugar on top.

    Top Tips!

    • Don't fill the puff pastry tarts with too much jam. It will cause too much mess inside the oven when you bake it, requiring you more time to clean your kitchen.
    • Let the dish cool down before serving them. The dish will be too delicate to serve if it is fresh from the oven, hence you need to give it at least 5 minutes to cool down.

    Serving Suggestions

    For an afternoon tea, these Puff Pastry Jam Tarts can easily be served with your favorite tea, such as green tea, black tea, oolong tea, and such.

    Lemon Raspberry Scones and Mango Compote are among my favorite pairs for this dish as well.

    Kids will definitely love a fresh orange juice and jam tarts combo, too.

    These Puff Pastry Jam Tarts are an excellent pair for a lot of dishes, but they are also a good standalone dish you can grab for a quick bite.

    Storage

    To store: Refrigerate this dish in an airtight container for three days; longer than that, and you already have to transfer it to the freezer for longer shelf life.

    Freeze: You can freeze this dish for up to a month so long as it is wrapped in foil and kept in an airtight container.

    Recipe FAQs

    Is this recipe dairy-free?

    Many puff pastry sheets are made without dairy products or eggs in them to allow for a longer shelf-life. However, there are still a lot of puff pastry brands that contain dairy. If you are planning to make this recipe dairy-free, make sure to use the brand of puff pastry sheets without dairy in it.

    Can I make my homemade puff pastry sheets for this recipe?

    Yes. However, making your own puff pastry sheets for this recipe is time-consuming, which kind of erases the "quick and easy recipe" description. Homemade puff pastry sheets are also more expensive than just buying ready-to-use ones.
