Happy Valentine’s day to all…
If you are looking for an easy and delightful recipe for the valentine day or for kids. Here is, I have prepared the little heart sweet pie and no chance to hate the cute… If you have a store-bought pie sheet, the work is yet easier. If you don’t have store-bought, I have given the recipe of homemade pie crust. Very easy to prepare for instant use.
The sweet pie has superb crispy outer and inner jammy chocolaty texture. It tastes similar to sweet puffs. Making puffs is my to-do list for long time, so I planned to make puffs using the Pie dough. Will do soon and come up with puff pastry soon... Now let’s check out the recipe,

Pie Crust Dough

- Preheat oven at 180̊ C for 10 minutes.

- Roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness.
- Cut with heart shape cookie cutter and arrange half of the hearts on a cookie sheet. Recombine the scraps of dough and repeat until you finish the dough.
- Now keep jam and chocolate chips in the center of the hearts, and keep the border around the outside of the hearts clean.
- Then place the plain hearts on top. Use a fork to pinch the edges of each pie together.
- Put a small slit in the center to escape vapor from the pie.
- Now brush butter or milk wash on the tops to allow them to get golden and crispy while baking.
- Sprinkle a bit of brown sugar on top.
- Bake it for 20-22 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool it for 15 minutes and serve it.
NOTE
- You can use a store-bought pie crust instead of homemade for a quick version.
- If you feel butter is melted when you knead, do not proceed further, just keep the dough in the freezer for 5-10 minutes and then proceed.
- If you see small bits of the dough, don’t worry the butter melt while baking and makes layers.
