Easy Mardi Gras-inspired Pop-Tart for a quick celebration treat!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed
  • gold, green, and purple sanding sugars
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Combine brown sugar, butter, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl and mix using a fork or clean hands until well blended. Set aside.
  • Combine egg and water in a small bowl, whisk until well mixed, and set aside.
  • Sprinkle flour on a clean work surface. Lay out a sheet of puff pastry, joining the seams by gently pressing. Dust the pastry with flour again and roll it into a 9x13-inch rectangle.
  • Gently place the puff pastry onto the pan and poke holes all over with a fork. Evenly spread the brown sugar-cinnamon filling on the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush the border with egg wash using a pastry brush.
  • Roll out the second sheet of pastry following the same process as before. Gently place it on top of the first sheet, making sure the corners and edges line up perfectly. Seal the two sheets together by pressing the edges with a fork. Poke holes all over with the fork and brush with egg wash.
  • Bake in the oven until beautifully golden, for about 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before enjoying.
  • Once the tart has cooled, whip the cream cheese and butter together until velvety. Gradually blend in the powdered sugar until silky. Gradually incorporate the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you achieve the desired texture. Spread the icing over the tart and adorn as desired with sanding sugars.
