Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to package instructions. Make sure it’s pliable but still cold.
While the puff pastry is thawing, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until it’s wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the spinach cool slightly.
In a large bowl, mix the sautéed spinach with dairy-free cream cheese, shredded dairy-free mozzarella, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly to smooth the edges. Cut the sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place a generous scoop of the spinach and cheese mixture in the center of each square.
Fold each square into a triangle or rectangle shape, depending on your preference, and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra-tight seal.
Brush the tops of the pastries with unsweetened almond milk for a golden finish.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring at least 1 inch of space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pastries cool for 5 minutes before serving.
