Instructions

1
|
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2
|
Place the raspberries, cream cheese and honey in a bowl. Using the back of a fork, mash the raspberries with the cream cheese, leaving some pieces of raspberry intact.
3
|
Roll the pie crust 1/4 inch thick and using a 4-inch heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out hearts (or, if you are using packaged pie crust just unroll and cut out hearts).
4
|
Place one heart on a lightly floured work surface and place 2 tsp of the cream cheese mixture in the very center, leaving a 1/4″ border around the cut-out.
5
|
Lightly dip your index finger into a cup of water and “brush” the border with the water (this will allow the two sides of the heart to adhere to one another).
6
|
Top with another heart and take the tines of a fork and gently press down along the edges to adhere (making sure the cream cheese mixture stays inside the heart pocket). With a toothpick, poke some holes in the top of the heart to remove any air pockets.**
7
|
Place on a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
8
|
While the hearts are baking, take the defrosted raspberries, place in a strainer and press down with the back of a spoon to release raspberry juice into a bowl — should be about 2 tablespoons of juice depending on how juicy the raspberries are.
9
|
Whisk in the milk into the raspberry juice, then slowly pour in the powdered sugar to make icing.
10
|
When cool, take a spoon and spread the raspberry icing over the hearts.
11
|
Serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Chill Dough Between Steps ❄️
    Refrigerate pie dough for 15-20 minutes after cutting heart shapes to prevent shrinking during baking and maintain crisp, defined edges.
  • Extract Fresh Raspberry Juice 🫐
    Puree fresh raspberries and strain through fine mesh to create vibrant pink icing naturally, then reduce the juice slightly on low heat to concentrate flavor and color intensity.
  • Seal Edges with Egg Wash 🥚
    Brush the dough edges with a milk or water mixture before sealing to create a stronger seal that prevents filling from leaking during baking.
  • Balance Cream Cheese Sweetness 🍯
    Whip cream cheese with honey until light and fluffy rather than thick, which creates a smoother, more spreadable filling that distributes evenly without overpowering the tart's delicate raspberry flavor.
  • Cool Before Final Icing 😋
    Allow tarts to cool completely at room temperature before applying the raspberry icing glaze, preventing it from melting and ensuring a beautiful, glossy finish that sets properly.
