If you’re looking for a super simple yet impressive and delicious dessert then these strawberry and cream filled puff pastry hearts are for you! There’s heart shaped treats a plenty at the minute and I’m here for it! Of course these would make the perfect gift for your valentine, but they’ll be sure to add the wow factor to any table, whatever the occasion.

I used dairy free whipping cream to fill these and it was SO good, I can’t believe how many incredible vegan alternatives there are in the supermarkets these days. I used Oatly whippable cream which comes in a 250ml carton, meaning you’ll have some left over for other things, my leftover whipped cream tastes amazing on top of coffee or hot chocolate. Naturally, I thought of strawberries immediately when I found the whipping cream but these pastry hearts would be just as delicious with raspberries, blackberries or fresh peaches! The puff pastry is one of those ‘accidentally vegan’ things, just check the packet to be sure.

Why you’re going to fall in love with these puff pastry hearts –

  • Only 5 ingredients needed
  • Ready in less than 30 minutes
  • A classic, delicious flavour of strawberries and cream
  • Light, creamy and fruity
  • Minimal effort, anybody can make these!

How to make them –

Begin by rolling out the puff pastry sheet. Roll it into a large rectangle then fold it in half, this will make it easier to slice the hearts in half once baked. Cut out heart shapes using a 4 inch cookie cutter and bake in the oven for 9-10 minutes until puffed up and golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before slicing in half.

Whip the dairy free whipping cream with vanilla extract until super thick. Pipe or spread onto half a puff pastry heart, top with fresh strawberries, another layer of whipped vanilla cream then top with the other half of the heart. Sprinkle with a generous dusting of icing sugar and serve, ta da! It really couldn’t be easier. Sometimes the easiest recipes are the most delicious too, right?

More about this recipe –

I managed to make about 8 hearts out of this recipe, which is a good job as half of them seemed to disappear almost immediately. Of course you can use any shape you like for this recipe if you don’t have a heart cookie cutter, but I recommend using one around 4 inches wide so you have enough room to stuff them with a suitable amount of cream and strawberries.

They’re best eaten immediately, but you can store them in the fridge for a couple of days if you’re lucky enough to have any left over. Just bear in mind that the pastry won’t be as crisp. Want to try a delicious main to enjoy before this pudding? Why not try my Tomato heart tart?

Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm a vegan recipe developer from the UK with a passion for healthy, delicious food. Read More…

Strawberry cookie dough bars 🍓🍪🍫 Secretly Strawberry cookie dough bars 🍓🍪🍫 Secretly loaded with healthy ingredients, gluten, nut and dairy free! I love making bliss balls but making the dough into bars and dunking them in chocolate takes them to a whole new level 🤌 The main ingredient is chickpeas 🤯 but trust me when I say they definitely don’t taste like chickpeas - just cookie dough! Using them like this is a great way to sneak in some extra veggie protein when the sweet cravings hit. 

Strawberry cookie dough bars

- 1 can chickpeas, drained, rinsed well
- 1 cup oats (can sub gluten free oats)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or 4 tbsp agave/maple syrup
- 4 squishy dates, pitted
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp tahini or nut butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup dark choc chips
- 1/4 cup freeze dried strawberries, finely chopped

Topping

- 1 cup dark chocolate, melted
- 2 tbsp freeze dried strawberries, crushed

Add chickpeas, oats, coconut sugar, dates, flaxseed, vanilla, tahini and salt to a food processor and combine until a cookie dough is formed - add a tbsp of water if it’s too dry or a little extra ground flaxseed or oats if it’s too squishy. Stir through the choc chips and strawberries. Press into a small, lined container and set aside in the freezer for at least 1 hr to firm up.
Cut into bars, dunk in melted chocolate and top with crushed dried strawberries.
