How adorable are these little strawberry cheese danishes?! I had to make them heart shaped for Valentine’s Day for my husband because why not?!

I used these super adorable Heart Cookie Cutters from Amazon with store bought puff pastry to make this cheese danish recipe super easy!

The heart shaped cookie cutters come with 5 different sizes so it was perfect to even make the strawberries into little heart shapes too!

I also used this Valentine’s Themed Sprinkles mix from Amazon for the red sugar sprinkles around the edges.

I definitely plan on using the heart sprinkles for a few more Valentine’s Day recipes this season!

Also, randomly these Glass bowls with lids from Amazon are my new favorite thing! Again, the different sizes and the fact that they have lids are making my life so easy right now! And they’re 50% off at the time of writing this, just so you know if you’re looking for new bowls after all the holiday baking you did!

Ok, heart shaped valentines treats recipe commence…

Ingredients:

• 8oz block cream cheese, softened

5. Then add the cream cheese danish filling to the center hearts and top with chopped strawberries or one heart strawberry
6. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown edges
7. After cooling your heart shaped cheese danish, you can dust with some powdered sugar if you’re feeling fancy
8. Enjoy these cute Valentine’s Day treats!

My god this strawberry cheese danish recipe is now a staple, y’all! I love an easy delicious treat any day of the week!

You can certainly use vegan cream cheese (not violife though cuz it doesn’t hold up well under heat). You can use Just Egg or another egg replacer, or even just some cornstarch and vegan milk/cream because most store bought puff pastry is accidentally vegan! You can also certainly use any fruits and even make an icing like drizzle to top them with too! The delicious cheese danish possibilities are endless!

Speaking of vegan and puff pastry, I also have this stellar and cute Valentine’s Day pink Mille-Feuille recipe that I made a few years ago too!

Ok love you bye
