Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Sprinkle a clean work surface with flour and roll out the pastry.

Use circular cutters to cut the base circles and transfer them onto your prepared baking sheet. Place cake pop sticks into the center, about halfway into the cut circle.

In a small bowl, combine mincemeat with chocolate chips.

Pile some of that mixture into the center of your circles, then set aside.

Create the rest of your top circles with your cutter. Then, using a star cutter, cut a star out of the center of half the circles you have made for the top!

Place the top circles onto the mince and press down the sides.

Put the cutout stars onto the plain tops and press them down gently. Use a fork to create a little pattern if wanted.

Brush the tops of your mince pie pops with aquafaba, then place them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.

Once they are brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and dust them with icing sugar before serving or gifting them to your friends.
