Nutella Strawberry Puff Pastry Hearts

I wanted to make a recipe for Valentine’s Day. One that can be made for this holiday or adjusted to make all year. It’s a simple, easy recipe that produces these cute little fun treats. My mom helped me bake these Nutella Strawberry Puff Pastry Hearts a couple of weekend’s ago (same day as my No-bake Nutella Cheesecake). It was an indulgent weekend!

Nutella is a favourite in my house, it doesn’t last very long and potentially could be the flavour for our wedding cake or Curtis’s individual cake haha. It goes so well in many recipes like brownies, cakes, milkshakes, nutella lattes, hot chocolate and more!

The leftovers of these were a big hit at my office and at home. You could use any berries for on top, choose any shape for the tarts, but I think the hearts are really cute and a nice touch. It was really hard not to eat all of these plus the cheesecake, plus the blood orange chips (coming soon!) and the queso fundido dip I made that day (also coming soon!). At the end of that weekend, I felt like you had to roll me home I was stuffed!

Does anyone have any favourite Nutella recipes? Or recipes for Valentine’s Day sweets?
