Ingredients

For the puff pastry heart pies

  • 1-2 defrosted sheets frozen puff pastry (1x sheet makes about 6 hearts, 2x sheets makes about 12 hearts)
  • 1/4 cup raspberry, cherry or strawberry jam (or pie filling)
  • 1 egg
  • Optional: white sugar or coarse sugar

For the icing

  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Optional: pink and/or red sprinkles

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet or cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lay out the defrosted puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. If needed, use a rolling pin to gently flatten before using.
  • Use a heart cookie cutter to cut out 12 hearts (6 tops and 6 bottoms). Brush the edges of the 6 ‘bottom’ hearts with the egg wash. Spoon about 1-2 tsp of the jam into the center of the heart and spread it a little bit, trying to avoid the edges. 
    **PLEASE NOTE: It's possible to get less hearts if you use a larger heart cookie cutter; just make sure you have an even number of hearts and use 2 sheets of puff pastry if needed**
  • Place the ‘top’ hearts over the jam filling and then crimp the edges of the hearts with a fork to seal - it’s ok if some of the filling seeps out!
  • Use a sharp knife to slice 2 small slits in the top of each heart; use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash on each puff pastry heart and then sprinkle with sugar if desired.  Place in the fridge while you preheat the oven to 375F. 
  • Once the oven is preheated (and it’s been at least 10 minutes since the pies have been in the fridge), bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool on the baking sheet fully and then make the icing by combining the icing sugar and lemon juice, mixing until smooth. Drizzle on the heart pies and sprinkle with pink or red sprinkles if desired.
