Puff Pastry Berry Hearts are an incredibly simple Valentine’s dessert that your kids will love to help you with! What’s better than fresh berries, whipped cream and flaky puff pastries? I can’t think of anything! In case you hadn’t figured it out already, Valentine’s Day is only a few days away! Of course there are straightforward gift ideas like a box of chocolates or a dozen roses you can give your loved ones, but to me there’s nothing as sweet as a simple homemade dessert like these Puff Pastry Berry Hearts to win over someone’s love forever.
Ingredients
1 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
1 package frozen puff pastry, defrosted
1/2 cup fresh raspberries (or mixed berries)
Method- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Unfold the puff pastry and cut into hearts using heart-shaped cookie cutters.
- Place the puff pastry hearts on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, or with an electric mixer whip the cream on medium- high speed for 2-3 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and beat on high for 30 more seconds or until thick and fluffy.
- Remove hearts from the oven and allow to cool completely. Slice hearts in half.
- Top the bottom half with whipped cream and berries, and place the other half on top to form a sandwich.
