NEW YORK, Feb 1 — Now that we’re into the month of love, you might want to check out this strawberry heart tart recipe that might come in handy for Valentine’s Day.
This recipe shared by YouTube channel TipHero has been slightly adapted from The Novice Chef and the cute little heart tarts are a fun way to show that special someone you love them.
You’ll need 1 egg yolk, 1 tsp of water, 1 pkg of refrigerated pie dough, 6 heaping tsp of whipped cream cheese, 6 heaping tsp of strawberry jam, some strawberries, carved into hearts and sliced lengthwise and course granulated sugar,
First, preheat the oven to 350°C and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Next, whisk the egg yolk and water in a small bowl and set aside.
Roll out the pie dough until it is about 1/16th of an inch thick. Cut dough into 12 2.5” X 3.5” rectangles. Place 6 of the rectangles on the sheet pan.
Spread 1 heaping tsp of cream cheese on each, leaving ¼” border around the edge. Layer 1 heaping tsp of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese, again leaving ¼” border.
Use the strawberry hearts as a guide to cut a heart out of each centre of the remaining 6 rectangles.
Place a carved strawberry heart in the centre of each jam covered rectangle. Top with the remaining rectangles and seal the edges with the prongs of a fork and brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with course sugar.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool for at least five minutes before enjoying!
