Nothing says “I love you” like a melt-in-your mouth pastry that is both irresistible and ridiculously cute. This heart-shaped, shareable dessert has just the right amount of sweetness to make anyone’s heart skip a beat. Bursting with Nutella and brushed with raspberry glaze, this heart screams romance with every tear.

This pull-apart heart is best for sharing (or not!), and if you have any leftovers, I recommend storing the pieces in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Directions

1. Step 1Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°. On a lightly floured surface (you will need enough space to roll out both cans of dough), roll out one can of crescent dough to a 12" x 10" rectangle. Repeat with remaining can of dough. Using a paring knife (and a cut-out, heart-shaped piece of parchment, if needed), cut a large heart shape into both rectangles, making sure they’re about the same size; discard scraps or reserve for another use.
2. Step 2Place one heart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using an offset spatula, spread Nutella across heart, leaving a 1/2" border on all sides. Place second heart on top.
3. Step 3Press heart-shaped cookie cutter into the center of the heart to make an indent without cutting all the way through. Using a paring knife, cut thin strips starting from the edge of the heart indent, extending all the way through the edge. The strips will be around 1/4" at the base and 1/2" at the top, and you'll end up with about 24 total.
4. Step 4Carefully twist each strip 5 to 6 times without breaking it off. Lay each strip back down in its original position to maintain the heart shape.
5. Step 5Bake pull-apart heart until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
6. Step 6In a small bowl, mix confectioners’ sugar, jam, milk, and 1 to 2 drops pink food coloring, adding more food coloring until desired color is reached. Drizzle over heart.
