Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Pie crusts |
| 1 | Cream cheese |
| 2 cups | Powdered sugar |
| 1 cup | Butter |
| 1/4 cup | White chocolate chips |
| 2 tbsp | Butter |
| 1/2 tsp | Almond extract |
| 5 | Egg whites |
| 1 | Jar of preserves |
| Red sugar (optional) |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough:
- Unfold the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and roll out the fold lines.
- Using a 2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out heart shapes from the dough.
- Reroll the remaining dough and repeat the process until you have about 46 hearts.
-
Preheat and Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Brush one side of each heart with egg white and sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar.
- Place the pastry hearts on 2 ungreased baking sheets and bake for 7-8 minutes or until they are light brown.
- Once baked, remove the hearts from the oven and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter, and almond extract until well blended.
-
Assemble the Jamwiches:
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the unsugared sides of half the hearts.
- Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of preserves over the cream cheese mixture.
- Top with the remaining hearts, unsugared side down, to create sandwich-like jamwiches.
-
Prepare the Drizzle:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until the mixture is smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a small zip lock bag, seal it, and then snip a tiny hole in one corner.
-
Decorate:
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the assembled jamwiches.
- Allow the chocolate to cool and set.
- For an extra festive touch, sprinkle the jamwiches with red sugar, if desired.
-
Serve and Enjoy!
- Once the chocolate has set, your Sweetheart Jamwiches are ready to be served and enjoyed with your loved ones!
