Ingredients

1. 1 sheet of Puff Pastry
2. 1 Cup Raspberries
3. 1/2 cup of Strawberry /Plain Cream Cheese
4. 1 cup of Whipped Cream
5. 1/2 Cup of Sugar + 1 tbsp for the cream filling
6. 1 tbsp Corn Starch
7. Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. - Unfold & roll out the creases of some pre-made puff pastry.
2. - Using a heart shaped cookie cutter cut out 4 big hearts.
3. - Then using a smaller heart shaped cutter, make a mark inside the bigger heart cut out. Don't cut this one all the way through, you're just trying to make a marking you can see later.
4. - Place the puff pastry hearts on a cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper. And bake at 425F for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.
5. - In the mean time, dissolve the sugar in 2-3 tablespoons of water and bring to a boil.
6. - Throw in 5 or 6 raspberries and crush them so they color and flavor the syrup.
7. - When the syrup starts boiling and thickening slightly, add a tablespoon of corn starch dissolved in a little water, Stir it in well & let it boil before lowering the heat.
8. - When the syrup thickens, turn off the heat and toss in the remaining raspberries and coat them in the syrupy goodness.
9. - In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, sugar and mix well.
10. - Fold in the whipped cream to make the filling light and fluffy.
11. - To assemble the dessert, start by cutting out the inner heart we marked earlier...as faint as it might be it's a good guideline.
12. - Spoon some of the cream mix in the heart cavity and then top with the some raspberries.
13. - Dust powdered sugar over the top of the raspberries
