What you'll need: 

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp Strawberry & Grand Marnier Jam
  • 2/3 cup very small diced strawberries
  • 1 large egg whisked with 1 tbsp water

 

How To Make: 

  1. Thaw puff pastry according to directions on package and halfway through thawing preheat oven to 400 degrees. 
  2. While puff pastry is thawing, in a small bowl and using a rubber spatula, mix together cream cheese and 2 tbsp  Strawberry & Grand Marnier Jam.
  3. Mix the other 1 tbsp of jam with the diced strawberries. 
  4. Roll out puff pastry to smooth it out. Cut pastry into heart shapes using a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter 
  5. Transfer hearts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing 2-inches apart. 
  6. Using a sharp paring knife, lightly score a heart inside of each cut-out heart coming about 1/3-inch from the edge, without cutting entirely through the bottom of the dough. 
  7. Add 1 tsp of the cream cheese mixture to the center of each heart then spread outward without covering the 1/3-inch edge. 
  8. Add strawberries over the cream cheese layer, again without covering the edge. Brush the 1/3-inch edge with egg/water mixture. 
  9. Bake in a preheated oven for 14 - 15 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack. 

Tip: Best served the day they are prepared!
