Baker's Choice Prune Butter Lekvar Pastry Filling, 12 oz — Smooth Vegan Prune Spread for Cakes & Fillings

Baker's Choice Prune Butter Lekvar is a ready-to-use, smooth prune paste made for fillings, frostings, glazes and dessert spreads.

This 12-ounce jar of lekvar brings concentrated prune flavor and velvety texture to pastries, cakes, cookies and no-bake desserts without any dairy. Formulated to be versatile and shelf-stable, the filling blends easily into batters, folds into creams or spreads directly on baked goods to add fruity depth and moisture. Kosher and vegan-friendly, it offers a quick professional touch for home bakers, small bakeries and pastry chefs looking to expand flavor profiles with minimal fuss.

How does this lekvar improve my pastries?

Prune butter adds moisture and a concentrated fruit note that balances sweet doughs and chocolate pairings. Because it’s smooth and spreadable, it layers evenly without breaking delicate pastries or thinning fillings.

• Provides a moist, cohesive filling for strudels, rugelach and danishes
• Enhances richness in chocolate cakes and tarts
• Prevents dryness in rolled and filled doughs

What are easy ways to use it in baking and desserts?

The lekvar is designed to be plug-and-play: spread straight from the jar, fold into batters, or warm gently to make a pourable glaze. It also mixes well into buttercreams, mousses and yogurt for quick flavor lifts.

• Spoon as a center for cookies and thumbprints
• Swirl into cake batters or layer between cake tiers
• Warm and drizzle as a finishing glaze on cheesecakes and tarts
