Raspberry Cream Cheese Heart Tarts
(makes 10 hearts)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup raspberries
1/4 cup whipped cream cheese
1 tbsp. honey
1 14 oz. pre-made pie crust
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
10 raspberries for icing of 2 tbps. juiced raspberries
1 tbsp. milk or water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400-degrees. Place the raspberries, cream cheese and honey in a bowl. Using the back of fork, mash the raspberries with the cream cheese, leaving some of the raspberries intact. Roll the pie crust 1/4 inch thick, and using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out hearts.
Place one heart on a lightly floured work surface and place 2 tsp. of the cream mixture in the center, leaving a 1/4” border around the cut-out.
Lightly dip index finger into a cup of water and “brush” the border with the water (this will allow the two sides of the heart to stick to one another).
Top with another heart and take the tines of a fork and gently press down along the edges to adhere. Use toothpick to poke holes in the top of the heart to remove any air pockets. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
While the hearts are baking, take 10 raspberries, place in a strainer and press down with the back of a spoon to release raspberry juice into a bowl.
Whisk in the milk and slowly pour in the powdered sugar to make icing. When cookies cool, take a spoon and spread the raspberry icing over the hearts.
