Easy to Make Heart-Shaped Pop Tarts for Valentine’s Day

As I was reminding him that he needs to decide soon, he asks, “Do we have to do something homemade?” I felt a lump in my throat and my heart sank. I wasn’t sure what to say. Was he embarrassed or did he think it would save time?! I love being crafty with him, but if store bought is his decision then I will have to accept my fate and just keep crafting for my readers!

While he decides what he wants to do, I’ll just be over here crafting with my food and making these Heart Shaped Valentine’s Day Pop Tarts!

What You’ll Need

1 box Pillsbury Store Bought Pre-Made Pie Crusts

Strawberry Fruit Spread (Any flavor works!)

1/2 cup Powdered Sugar

1/2 tbsp Milk

Valentine Sprinkles

How to Make Heart Shaped Pop Tarts for Valentine’s Day

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Set two pre-made pie crusts out. Once they have reached room temperature, unroll one of the pie crusts and press a heart shaped cookie cutter into the crust as many times as you can.

Transfer the hearts to the prepared baking sheet.

Spoon the fruit spread into the centers of the hearts. Make sure it doesn’t go all the way to the edge, you’ll need room to seal the pop tarts.

Using the heart shaped cookie cutter again, cut an equal number of hearts out of the second crust and place them over the top of the fruit spread. Seal the edges with a fork.

Place them in the oven for 10-12 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool.

Once cooled, make the icing by combining 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 tbsp milk. You don’t want the icing too thick or too thin, so you may have to adjust so it isn’t too runny on the pop tart. To make thicker, add powdered sugar. To make thinner, add milk.

Spoon the icing onto the center of the pop tart and gently move icing around the top, stopping just before the fork marks.

Let sit for a minute or two, then sprinkle with Valentine sprinkles. (Note: If you add sprinkles too soon they will just sink into the icing. You want them to sit on top of the icing nicely.)

Icing Consistency – Let the icing sit for a few minutes to firm up a little. Test the consistency of it before putting onto the Pop Tart by letting it drip off the spoon you stir it with first. It should be thin enough to spread, but thick enough so it doesn’t run all over.

Sprinkles – Let the icing sit on the pop tart for a minute or two, then sprinkle with Valentine sprinkles. If you add sprinkles too soon they will just sink into the icing. You want them to sit on top of the icing nicely, but not fall off.

Stacking – The icing will get firm, but not firm enough to stack the hearts on top of each other.
