Why settle for toast with raspberry jam and vegan cream cheese when you can have Vegan Raspberry Calzones instead!
These Vegan Raspberry Calzones are way more fun than toast. They come out of the oven bubbling hot and oozing with sweet, rich goodness. (I am not kidding - you need to let them rest or you might burn yourself like I almost did.)
Before these, I used to have toast with vegan cream cheese and jam. Of course, these take a bit longer, but they are so much more fun.
I've included these in the breakfast category because they have all the makings of a perfect breakfast in my book. I sprinkled a little sugar on top but I did not mix any into the filling. I prefer a savory breakfast to a sweet one.
This is my third calzone recipe. First, there were the Spinach and Tofu Ricotta Calzones. Then, I made Vegan Calzones, which have mushrooms and other vegetables. I like them as an alternative to pizza.

I used Pamela's pizza mix to make the calzones. If you're vegan and gluten free like me, you're going to want to check it out. It's got a wonderful yeasty flavor.
Vegan Raspberry Calzones
Ingredients
- Pizza dough - I used Pamela's gluten free 11.29 ounce pizza mix
- ¼ cup vegan cream cheese - leave out to room temperature
- 3 tablespoons all fruit raspberry jam
- 2 tablespoons raspberries
- coconut oil
- raw sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- Prepare pizza dough according to directions. Sprinkle flour on cutting board. Roll or press out dough to your preferred size. If using Pamela’s pizza dough, use parchment paper or plastic wrap on top of dough to spread it out thinly (it is very sticky). Divide dough into ¼s or ½s. By dividing mine into ¼s, they came out to be approx. 6×6″ each.
- Spread vegan cream cheese on half of the dough, leaving the edges bare. Top with raspberry jam, and raspberries.
- Fold over the dough. If using a sticky dough (like Pamela’s), use parchment paper or plastic wrap to fold dough over. Press with floured or slightly wet fingers to seal the edge*. Brush the top with coconut oil. Sprinkle raw sugar on top. Repeat with the rest of dough.
- With the parchment or plastic wrap, lift to an oiled pan, parchment paper, or pizza stone, and bake at 450° for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let sit for several minutes - they are extremely hot!

SHUT UP!!!! These look SO good!!! I may try with this cashew cream cheese I make. You are so creative. I love a little sweet treat in the morning 🙂
Willow Moon says
Thanks Chrissa! I bet these would be good with cashew cream cheese! I make that too, but sometimes I am a bit lazy and grab the vegan cream cheese. It is one of my guilty pleasures! The vegan cheddar, mozzarella, etc. I can skip.

Cheryl Mae says
Looks amazing. I'm wondering if I could use refrigerated crescent roll dough from a can and do it in the air fryer?
Willow Moon says
Hi Cheryl Mae, I've never tried crescent roll dough, but I've read that you can use it in place of pizza dough. I've also read that you can cook it in an air fryer, so I say go for it! FYI - I don't own an air fryer, so I am not familiar with them.
