Steps:
- Unfold sheet of Puff Pastry (1) and using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out 4 hearts.
- Using a smaller heart shaped cutter, make a mark inside the bigger heart cut out. Don't cut all the way through, you're just trying to make a marking you can see later.
- Place the puff pastry hearts on a cookie sheet, lined with wax paper. And bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes until golden and crispy.
- In the mean time, dissolve Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup) in 2-3 tablespoons of water and bring to a bubble.
- Throw in 5 or 6 Fresh Raspberry (5) and crush them so they color and flavor the syrup.
- Dissolve Corn Starch (1 tablespoon) in a little bit of water and when the syrup starts boiling and thickening slightly, add in cornstarch mixture. Let it boil a little and then lower the heat.
- When the syrup is thick, turn off the heat and toss in the remaining Fresh Raspberry (20) and coat them in the syrupy goodness.
- In a mixing bowl, add the Strawberry Cream Cheese (1/2 cup) and Granulated Sugar (2 tablespoon) and mix well.
- Fold in the Whipped Cream (1 cup) to make the filling light and fluffy.
- To assemble the dessert, start by cutting out where the inner heart was marked earlier.
- Spoon some of the cream mix in the heart cavity.
- Then top with some raspberries. Repeat the layers again.
- Dust Powdered Confectioners Sugar (to taste) over the top of the raspberries and you can place the heart you cut out on top too. Enjoy!

RASPBERRY NAPOLEONS DESSERT
Raspberry Napoleons are an incredibly easy and tres delicieux summertime dessert. The combination of a crisp puff pastry with sweet cream cheese and raspberries is hard to beat. The size of Napoleons you make is really up to you. I find that a 3x3-inch square is usually a good size, but use your own discretion.
