Ingredients

  • ¼ tub vegan cream cheeze like Sheese, Tesco or Tofutti or make your own vegan cream cheese.
  • 225g/8oz packet fresh or frozen filo pastry
  • 25g/1oz vegan margarine, melted
  • 30ml/6tsp cranberry sauce

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5.
  2. Take 3 sheets of filo pastry at a time. Cut in half so you have 10 12.5cm/4-5 inch squares. Take one square and brush with a little melted butter or margarine. Place another square on top at an angle, and brush again. Do the same with a third sheet
  3. Place a teaspoon of cream cheese in the middle of the filo pastry and top with a teaspoon of cranberry sauce. Bring the edges of the pastry up together and pinch them to form a little parcel (money-bag shape). Make up the rest of the parcels in the same way.
  4. Brush with melted vegan margarine and place on a greased baking tray.
  5. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden. Serve hot with extra cranberry sauce.

Did you know that the Vegan Recipe Club is run by Viva!, and that we are a charity?

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.

Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference! Please share our details with your friends and loved ones too, as every donation enables us to keep fighting for change.
