Giant Frosted Strawberry Pop Tart
A giant homemade version of the childhood favorite! This Giant Frosted Strawberry Pop Tart is made with flaky pie crust, sweet strawberry preserves and a thick vanilla icing topped with colorful sprinkles. It's easy to make, fun to serve and perfect for sharing.
Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
For the pop tart:
- 1 package refrigerated pie dough it should come with two crusts
- ¾ cup strawberry preserves
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp milk
For the icing:
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2-4 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- rainbow sprinkles for topping
Instructions
For the pop tart:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll both pie crusts. Using a rolling pin, gently roll each crust into a large rectangle of roughly equal size. Trim the edges if needed to create two even rectangles.
- Place one piece of pie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 teaspoon of milk to make an egg wash. Brush a thin layer of egg wash around the edges of the bottom crust.
- Add the strawberry preserves to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 15-20 seconds, or until the jam is pourable (you don't have to do this step but it makes spreading the jam layer on easier!) Spread the strawberry preserves evenly over the center of the crust, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edges, avoiding the egg wash.
- Carefully place the second piece of pie dough over the strawberry filling. Press the edges together to seal, then use a fork to crimp all the way around the Pop Tart. Use a fork to poke several holes in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape. Brush the top lightly with the remaining egg wash. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow the Pop Tart to cool completely before icing.
For the icing:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of milk and vanilla extract until smooth. If needed, add the remaining milk a little at a time until you reach a thick but spreadable consistency. Spread the vanilla icing over the cooled Pop Tart, leaving some of the golden crust visible around the edges. Immediately top with rainbow sprinkles. I used rainbow stars, but any sprinkles work! Allow the icing to set for about 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
