What you need

cup whipped cream

tbsp honey

box refrigerated pie dough

water

cup powdered sugar

cup fresh raspberries

tbsp milk
Instructions
0 Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 1 Place the raspberries, cream cheese and honey in a bowl. Using the back of a fork, mash the raspberries with the cream cheese, leaving some pieces of raspberry intact. 2 Roll the pie crust 1/4 inch thick and using a 4-inch heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out hearts (or, if you are using packaged pie crust just unroll and cut out hearts). 3 Place one heart on a lightly floured work surface and place 2 tsp of the cream cheese mixture in the very center, leaving a 1/4″ border around the cut-out. 4 Lightly dip your index finger into a cup of water and “brush” the border with the water (this will allow the two sides of the heart to adhere to one another). 5 Top with another heart and take the tines of a fork and gently press down along the edges to adhere (making sure the cream cheese mixture stays inside the heart pocket). With a toothpick, poke some holes in the top of the heart to remove any air pockets.** 6 Place on a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden. 7 While the hearts are baking, take the defrosted raspberries, place in a strainer and press down with the back of a spoon to release raspberry juice into a bowl — should be about 2 tablespoons of juice depending on how juicy the raspberries are. 8 Whisk in the milk into the raspberry juice, then slowly pour in the powdered sugar to make icing. 9 When cool, take a spoon and spread the raspberry icing over the hearts. 10 Serve.View original recipe
