  I’m excited to share my Valentine’s Day project with you:

Have you seen the cute frozen whipped cream hearts on Pinterest?  I’ve seen a few versions.  I’d like to give credit, but I really don’t know where I first saw them.  It’s one of those ideas that have made the rounds.

I decided to try flavoring the whipped topping.  I made Raspberry and Caramel.  In the photo, the Raspberry heart is in a cup of white chocolate hot cocoa.  So good!  Especially for a store bought mix.

These hearts are easy to make.  They have a subtle flavor, enough to enhance the hot cocoa without overpowering.  Here’s what you’ll need:  

This is more method than recipe.  I used one container of frozen whipped topping, thawed.

For the Caramel Hearts, I folded 2-3 Tbs. of caramel topping into the whipped cream.

For the Raspberry Hearts, I used 2-3 Tbs. of raspberry flavored syrup (like you find in coffee shops).  I also used a few drops of pink food coloring to make it pretty.

Spread the flavored topping on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Pop the cookie sheet in the freezer for several hours or over night.  Then use a small, heart shaped cutter to make the hearts.

That’s it!  Float them in your hot cocoa and celebrate a sweet day!

I’ve also been using the flavored topping to dip my animal cookies.  Yum!

Now you can link up your Valentine’s Day project.  I can’t wait to see what you’ve got!  Be sure to leave a link back to one of the hostesses blogs.
