If you are fixing a fancy Valentine Dinner, these are definitely the easy yet elegant way to go for dessert. They look and taste like you spent hours, yet come together in absolutely no time at all. The secret is... Puff Pastry Sheets! Watch close when you buy, the box of 'Shells' looks just like the box of "Sheets'. Um, except for the fact that it says shells instead of sheets. Just trying to help you to be as aware as you know I always am...
The first step: Take out a sheet of frozen puff pastry. Let it sit on the counter for 30 or 40 minutes to thaw. Unfold, and using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out the hearts. It shrinks when cooking, above shows the cookie cutter I used and the actual size of the heart after baking, so the bigger your cookie cutter, the better. Bake on a cookie sheet according to the package directions and let cool. They get nice and puffy. (hence the name...) After they cool, slice them in half through the middle as shown above.
Mix up some instant chocolate pudding. Let it set up until it's firm. I like to add a little bit of Cool Whip to it to help give it some extra form. Put a dollop on the bottom half of each heart.
Top that with a dollop of Cool Whip and put the top half of the heart back on.
Melt some chocolate chips in the microwave, put in a ziplock bag and cut off a teeny tiny hole in one bottom corner of the bag. Drizzle over the top of the pastries. Put in the fridge to quickly set the chocolate or store in the fridge until served!
Enjoy!
