How to Make a Giant Chocolate Strawberry Poptart
- Make the strawberry chia filling. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook 1 cup of strawberries until they begin to bubble. Stir in the vanilla extract, then blend to your preferred texture. Remove from the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Let the mixture sit until it thickens into a jam-like consistency. :
- Prepare the pastry base. Roll out one sheet of gluten-free puff pastry onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Add the filling. Spoon the strawberry filling into the center and spread it evenly, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Seal the poptart. Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top and use a fork to press and seal the edges.
- Bake. Bake according to your puff pastry package instructions, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp. Let it cool completely before adding the chocolate topping.
- Make the chocolate topping. Chop the Pascha dark chocolate and melt it with the coconut oil using a double boiler. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
- Decorate and set. Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled poptart and spread evenly. Sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberries, then let the chocolate set fully before slicing and serving.
Easy Flavor Variations
Once you try this version, there are so many ways to make it your own:

The method stays easy, while the flavor possibilities are endless.
Clean Ingredients, Big Flavor
What makes this dessert stand out is the quality of the ingredients. Using Pascha Organic Chocolate adds deep cocoa flavor while keeping the recipe aligned with a more mindful approach to baking.
Choose your favorite dough, add a strawberry filling, and layer in generous pieces of chocolate for a dessert that feels both nostalgic and elevated.
Why Pascha Chocolate Works in This Recipe
Pascha’s original recipe specifically uses its 85% cacao dark chocolate bar for the topping, which gives the finished pastry a rich, glossy chocolate layer with deeper flavor than a sweeter chocolate would provide. Pascha also suggests adding a drizzle of vegan white chocolate for contrast, which can make the pastry feel even more decorative and dessert-like.
