RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE HEART TARTS
These adorable heart-shaped tarts are a spin on Pop-Tarts, one of my childhood favorites. They're filled with raspberry cream cheese, which peeks through a little heart window in each tart.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
- Place the fresh raspberries, cream cheese and honey in a medium bowl. Using the back of a fork, mash the raspberries with the cream cheese, leaving some pieces of raspberry intact. Set aside.
- Unroll the pie dough. (If using homemade dough, roll 1/4 inch thick.) Using a 4-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, stamp out 20 to 22 hearts.
- Arrange half of the hearts on a lightly floured work surface (these are the bottom crusts). Set aside the remaining hearts (these are the top crusts). Place 2 teaspoons of the raspberry cream cheese in the center of each bottom crust, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edge.
- Cut a heart, with a 3/4-inch cutter, out of the center of each top crust. Reserve and bake the smaller hearts along with the tarts, if desired.
- Lightly dip your index finger into a cup of water and "brush" the border of a bottom crust. Top with a top crust and gently crimp the edges shut with the tines of a fork. Repeat with the remaining crusts.
- Place the tarts and the reserved hearts on the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
