Valentine's Day: Two Raspberry Hearts

Source of Recipe


From "Love Bites" by Jewel Mann-Lassiter






List of Ingredients



• 1 package refrigerated pie crusts, softened
  
• 1 (4-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  
• 1 small jar (6 to 7 ounces) strawberry or raspberry pie preserves
  
• 2 cups raspberries or small strawberries
  






Instructions



1. Heat oven to 450° F.
   
   
2. Roll out the softened pie crusts. Cut out a paper pattern of a heart and use it to cut out four, 5-inch hearts from the pie crust dough. Place hearts on a cookie sheet and bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove and cool.
   
   
3. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and confectioners' sugar. Beat until smooth. Spread the mixture on two of the hearts. Spread half of the pie preserves over the cream cheese. Make a sandwich with the remaining two hearts. Spread remaining pie preserves over the top of each heart. Arrange raspberries or strawberries, stem side down, over the top of both hearts. Optional: sprinkle confectioners' sugar over the berries.
