Ever since having kids, I’ve become full on Valentine’s Day obsessed. I don’t know what it is! It’s not just the day – it’s the little season before each holiday that is so exciting to “celebrate” with them. Max gets ridiculously excited to put up the little décor we have for Valentine’s Day.

He also still calls it ValenTIMES day and I just can’t bear to tell him otherwise because it’s so cute.

It’s one of those words that I secretly hope he always pronounces as he says it now.

Anyhoooo.

I made these mini peach hand pies in the summer and have been dyyyying to make some into hearts all year!

It gets me super excited to have another use for Mother Lovett’s pie crust too. She is probably doing cartwheels in her grave right now because I’ve made more with her pie crust than we ever thought imaginable!

Says the person who grew up not caring about pie.

Crazy!

Full disclosure: raspberries are probably my least favorite fruit and I don’t lose my mind over Nutella like most people do. BUT. The combination of these two together? Ooooh it’s good. It’s decadent and tastes like heaven.

These are also super fun to make with kids! Well, the cutting dough part is. The filling… maybe not so much. But what I love about mini pies is when the gorgeous berry filling peeks out during bake time. It’s so vibrant and pretty and makes the crust on top taste that much better.

I used a mini heart cookie cutter that I found at Target a few years ago. You could make whatever size pies you’d like, so you may get less than the almost-two dozen I got, but that just means more room for ice cream!

Crunchy sugar on top for all of us texture lovers, okay?

I whipped up a quick makeshift raspberry compote (or… something like it?) using frozen raspberries. This way, if you can’t find any great berries at the moment, grab some frozen ones and you’re good to go. You could also use your favorite preserves in a pinch.

A dollop of both bursting, syrupy raspberries and nutella go in the center of a super flakey and buttery crust. These are SO good right from the oven, served with vanilla ice cream, extra raspberries drizzled on top and a nutella spoon, which gets all melty in the bowl.

Best Valentine’s treat ever!

p.s. let’s skip the part about how these mini heart pies may look like a scene from Dexter when covered in extra raspberries.

In case you need a few more ideas, I’ve made Nutella s’mores pop tarts with puff pastry and those are to die for. I also made ones with sour cherry jam and smoked cheddar! Equally as delish. This amaretto brownie heart will make you fall in love (as will the heart baking dish – HELLO!) and who can forget the cabernet latte that I shared last year?!

Making that for sure.

Maybe making it today. It has been a WEEK.
