Ingredients
Pop Hearts
- 1 box (400g) Ready-to-bake refrigerated pie crusts
- ½ cup cherry pie filling, or strawberry jam
Frosting
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Food Gel colouring, optional
- Sprinkles, optional
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- On a parchment-lined or lightly floured work surface, unroll one sheet of pie crust. Cut the pie crust into 10 hearts using a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Place the hearts on the prepared baking sheet
- On the same work surface, unroll the other sheet of pie crust and cut it into 10 hearts using the same heart-shaped cookie cutter
- Spread 1/2 teaspoon filling, or jam, in the centre of each heart that is on the baking sheet, leaving about 1/4-inch around the edge
- Place another heart-shaped crust evenly on top of each jam-topped heart. Press the edges down with your fingers all around the heart and then use a fork to crimp and seal the edges
- Bake for 15 minutes or until light brown around the edges
- Meanwhile, make the frosting by combing the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Stir until you have a spreadable consistency, adding a small amount of extra milk if required. The frosting can be left white, or coloured using gel colouring
- Remove the pop tarts from the oven and let cool on a rack before finishing
- Frost the centre of each pop tart with desired coloured frosting. Alternatively place the frosting in a piping bag, snip the end off and drizzle over the cooled pop tarts
- If using finish with decorative sprinkles
