Cream Puff Hearts
Ingredients

Instructions
- Roll and Shape: Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into heart shapes. For a romantic touch, aim for four hearts.
- Chill and Baste: Chill the pastry and baste with milk before baking, following the instructions on the packet (typically 15 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius).

- Layer with Goodness: On one half, pipe a generous amount of whipped cream, layer with fresh raspberries, and add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each raspberry.
- Seal the Deal: Place the other half of the pastry on top, creating a heavenly cream-filled raspberry heart.

FAQs:
- Strawberry Variation: Switch it up by using strawberries; slice them in half for added height in your delightful heart sandwich.
- Whipping Cream: Make your whipped cream by adding icing sugar and vanilla essence to double or whipping cream. Whip until thick, being cautious not to over-whip. If you are in a hurry a squirty cream like President Squirty Spary Cream will work.
- Texture Matters: Piping and chilling whipped cream slightly alter the consistency, so avoid over-whipping for the perfect, luscious filling. Piping gives a nicer effect – I used a star nozzle.
- These do taste best once made, when the cream is chilled and pastry crisp. You can put them in the fridge for a maximum of 2 days but they won’t have that crunch.
