Disney’s Festival of the Arts is here! As part of our Festival of the Arts At Home series, we created the Pop’t Art, which is available at Pop Eats at the festival. This has been at the Festival of the Arts since its inaugural year, and we love that it’s super simple and fun.
Festival of the Arts Pop Tart Recipe Copycat Pop’s Art
The Pop’t Art at the Festival of the Arts is a strawberry-filled pop tart, with vanilla icing and usually some sort of abstract design on the outside. It’s pretty simple, but it’s very kid-friendly and really easy to recreate at home.
What do you need to make the Festival of Arts Copycat Pop’t Art?
The best part about this copycat recipe is that it’s not only really easy to make, but it only takes a few ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need the Pop’t Art copycat recipe.
Disney Pop Tart Ingredients
- 1 package or 1 recipe sugar cookie dough
- 1/2 c. strawberry jam
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tablespoon water
- 1 c. powdered sugar
- Food Coloring
- 1-2 tbsp milk of choice
You’ll also need a rolling pin and a small saucepan.
Pop Tart Recipe Instructions
Roll out the cookie dough, slightly thinner than you normally would. Then cut the dough in pairs, one for the top and one for the bottom. You’ll want to poke holes on the tops. You can use whatever shape you want here using a cookie cutter or just using a knife. I stuck with a standard 6″ x 4″ rectangle because I wanted to keep the look true to the Festival of the Arts cookie.
Make the jam mixture, spread evenly onto bottoms. Cover with tops, crimp edges, and bake! Once they come out of the oven, let them cool and decorate. We decided to try to match the “artistic” decoration on the top and chose a few colors that match this year’s color scheme. You can always decorate them however you want or even use a different type of icing if you prefer.
How to make Festival of the Arts Pop’t Art
If you’ve ever read one of our other Pop Tart recipes, then you’ll know the method is pretty much the same. In this recipe though, we are using sugar cookie dough instead of pie crust.
These are super easy and if you’re not a fan of the sugar cookie base, we’ve also used pie crust before using the same method. The pie crust will give you a flakier, more “pop tart” taste, whereas the Cookie base is more true to the Festival of the Arts version.
