- 1sheet puff pastry,(8½ oz)
- 2ozcream cheese,softened
- 1½tbspstrawberry jam
- 1dropred food coloring,or beet powder, optional
- ⅔cupstrawberries,diced, very small
- 1largeegg,(whisked with 1 tbsp water)

Instructions
-
Thaw puff pastry according to directions on package and halfway through thawing preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
While puff pastry is thawing, in a small bowl and using a rubber spatula, mix together cream cheese, jam and food coloring while pressing mixture along bottom and sides of bowl to smoothen large lumps.
-
Transfer to refrigerator until ready to use.
-
Cut pastry into heart shapes using a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter (space them as close together as possible).
-
Transfer hearts to a baking sheet lined with a silicone liner or parchment paper, spacing 1½-inches apart.
-
Using a sharp pairing knife, lightly score a heart inside of each cut-out heart coming about ⅓-inch from the edge, without cutting entirely through the bottom of the dough.
-
Add 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture to center of each heart then spread outward without covering the ⅓-inch edge.
-
Add strawberries over cream cheese layer, again without covering the edge. Using your fingertip, brush the ⅓-inch edge with egg/water mixture.
-
Bake in preheated oven for 14 to 15 minutes until edges are golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack then dust with powdered sugar. Serve the day they are prepared.
