Nothing says true love like a homemade dessert :-))This pastry heart makes the best dessert for someone special. It's basically just some twisted puff pastry straws rearranged in a heart-shaped baking pan. Perfect for pre-dinner nibbles or as the dessert and for when you are short on time because it's so quick and easy to make. It's beautiful and amazing enough for a special occasion like Valentine's or a birthday party while simple enough for an easy weekend treat.

To Garnish
  • 1 package / 250 g Poppy paste ( I used Dr. Oetker)
  • 80 g Chopped hazelnuts
  • 1 Large egg, lightly beaten together (reserved 1 tbsp for the topping)
  • 1 sheet / 275 g Fresh puff pastry
  • 1/2 tsp Sesame seeds
  • Pink peppercorns
  • Rose petals
  • Rosemary
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the poppy paste, all egg except 1 tablespoon for the topping and chopped hazelnuts. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Lightly grease a 24-cm heart-shaped baking pan or line with a baking paper.
  3. Unfold the pastry sheet and spread the poppy mixture evenly on the pastry. From the short end fold over and cut the folded pastry into 1cm strips.
  4. Twist the strips and arrange them, from inside to outside, into the prepared form. Brush with the reserved egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  5. Bake in the middle of the hot oven for 20 minutes until golden brown. Let the pastry cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Garnish with pink peppercorns, rose petals and rosemary.

  11. Looks very pretty and perfectly fit for next week's Valentines! I don't like rosemary as decor, though, it never looked appetizing to me for some reason, although I do have a few bushes of it in my royal gardens.
