Description

This Giant Frosted Strawberry Pop Tart recipe is a fun and delicious homemade treat that takes classic store-bought pop tarts to the next level. Made with flaky pre-made pie crusts filled with a generous layer of strawberry jam and topped with a sweet vanilla glaze and optional sprinkles, this recipe yields a large, shareable pop tart perfect for breakfast or snack time.

Ingredients

Scale

Pop Tart

  • 1 package (2 crusts) pre-made pie crusts
  • 3/4 cup seedless strawberry jam
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Icing

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk or water
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Bottom Crust: Remove the pie crusts from their packaging. Place one crust on the prepared baking sheet and gently roll it out to an 11-inch wide circle.
  3. Add Strawberry Jam: Spread the 3/4 cup of seedless strawberry jam evenly over the center of the bottom crust, leaving a 1-inch border all around.
  4. Apply Egg Wash to Border: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 2 tablespoons water. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the 1-inch border of the dough with the egg wash to help seal the crusts together.
  5. Top Crust Placement: Roll out the remaining pie dough to the same size and carefully place it over the jam-filled crust. Gently press the edges to seal the two crusts together with your fingers, then use a large fork to crimp the edges all around.
  6. Vent Poptart and Egg Wash Top: Lightly prick the center of the pop tart with the fork to allow steam to escape during baking. Optionally, brush the remaining egg wash over the top for a glossy golden finish.
  7. Bake: Bake the assembled pop tart in your preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool while you prepare the glaze.
  8. Make the Icing: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk or water, 2 tablespoons melted salted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
  9. Glaze and Decorate: Spoon the glaze evenly over the cooled pop tart (it’s okay if the tart is slightly warm). Sprinkle with optional sprinkles for a fun finish.
  10. Slice and Serve: Using a sharp, thin knife, slice the giant pop tart into 8 equal pieces and enjoy your homemade frosted strawberry treat!

Notes

  • Use seedless strawberry jam for smooth spreading and to avoid jam seeds in your tart.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar; for a thinner glaze, add a bit more milk or water.
  • Let the pop tart cool slightly before glazing to prevent the icing from melting too much.
  • Store leftover pop tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • You can substitute the strawberry jam with your favorite fruit jam for variety.
