Heart Shaped Dessert

 

by Kara Kimbrough

​

1 box of red velvet cake mix

1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese

1 cup powdered sugar

1 stick softened butter

1 cup strawberries, washed and halved

 

Make cake according to package directions. For moister cake, instead of oil, use melted butter, and instead of water, use milk, to make cake. While cake is baking, beat together remaining three ingredients and set aside.

 

When cake layers are cooled, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out four small hearts or two large hearts. Layer the filling between two hearts to make a sandwich. Place a dollop of filling on top for garnishment and top with sliced strawberries. Dust with more powdered sugar.
