Valentine's Day Heart Puff Pastries (Cherry Filled Puff Pastry Cases)

🧂 Ingredients

• 17.3 oz puff pastry sheets

  (2 pack frozen sheets - thawed per box instructions)
• 21 oz cherry pie filling

  (21-ounce can)
• ¼ cup confectioners' sugar

  (optional, garnish)

Instructions

• 1 Thaw your puff pastry sheets by placing them at room temperature for about 40
  minutes prior to starting.
• 2 Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  or a silicone baking mat.
• 3 On a lightly floured working surface, roll out your puff pastry sheets (one at a
  time) to just under ¼-inch thickness. Use a double set of heart-shaped metal
  cookie cutters, one larger than the other to cut the hearts out of the pastry
  sheets.
• 4 Use the larger heart to cut out 8 hearts per sheet. On half of those hearts, cut
  out an inside heart as well (to make a heart outline).
• 5 Place the larger, whole hearts on the baking sheet and top each with the heart
  outline. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry dough.
• 6 Bake the puff pastry hearts at 400°F (205°C) for 15-20 minutes or until a light
  golden brown in color. Remove from your oven when done, press down gently on the
  center of the pastry heart to make an indent. Then allow the pastries to cool
  slightly before filling.
• 7 Once cooled, fill the indent of each pastry heart with a generous portion of the
  cherry pie filling. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired and serve.
