Strawberry Cinnamon Roll Hearts

-
Love is in the air and Valentine’s Day is almost here. To me this day it’s not only for the ones in a relationship, because we can share love with our family & friends too. 
Without underestimating the fact that love should be „celebrated“ any time of the year and we should show people we love how much we appreciate their presence in our lives not only 1 day a year. 
But still whether you celebrate it or not, whether you have someone special to share it with or not, the recipe I‘m sharing today is the best gift/ dessert/ surprise/ representation of pure love. 
You can make it any time of the year and still show you poured your heart into this dessert.. Literally! 
..Because they are heart-shaped strawberry cinnamon rolls and the fluffiness, the creaminess of the glaze, the sweetness and the tanginess from the strawberries complement each other perfectly.

So I followed my classic „cinnamon rolls“ recipe + I added strawberries and a different technique to make them. 

Go check the cinnamon roll recipe HERE!
I‘m going to let the ingredients down here also.. 
So here is what you will need:
(For the dough)
1 cup of lukewarm milk or water 
2 tsp of active dry yeast 
4 cups of flour 
1/2 a cup of granulated sugar 
3 tbsp of unsalted butter (spoon fulls) 
2 eggs
a pinch of salt 
(For the filling)
4 tbsp of unsalted butter (spoon fulls) 
1 cup of brown sugar 
3 tbsp of cinnamon
+ STRAWBERRIES (about 150 g) 
(For the icing)
5 tbsp of unsalted butter 
1 1/2 cups of icing sugar 
4 tbsp of mascarpone cheese 

Preparation: 


After I made my dough and it doubled in size, I rolled it out and instead of spreading the brown sugar-butter filling, I cut individual strips of dough about 2 cm  wide. Next i spread the filling concentrated in the center.
[The reason why I did this was to prevent overfilling and them coming out „cleaner“ later after baking.]


*Don’t forget to preheat the oven to 180°C.*
Then I layed 3-4 strawberry slices in each side of the strip (not too thick, because it’s harder to roll them).
Roll each side up to the middle and then pinch the outside middle part to make a heart shape.


Put them in a pan and bake them in a preheated oven (180°C) for 20 minutes until golden brown.
After they‘re done you can make the glaze and serve them.

❤️ ENJOY!! ❤️ HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY !! LOVE YOU ❤

 The Great Lent has begun and if you’re christian chances are you know what this is. Long story short, The Great Lent or The Great Fast officially begins on Clean Monday, seven weeks before Pascha ( Easter ) and runs for 40 contiguous days. It has its religion-related purposes, but personally I do it to feel better with myself, to eat healthier (most of the time), to eat mostly vegan meals (if you’re interested in knowing the benefits of eating vegan you can look it up by yourself, because I don’t want to force & influence anyone) and to expend my taste palette by trying new recipes.  The foods abstained from are meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, wine, and oil. According to some traditions, only olive oil is abstained from; in others, all vegetable oils. In my house we use all kinds of vegetable oils including olive oil, except the last week of the Lent. So basically you have to eat vegan, but with some exceptions such as: mussels, prawns, squid and cuttlefish. (beca...

Chocolate covered tiramisu LOVE BITES

I was laying on my bed last night and all of a sudden I remembered that this week is the “ Valentine’s Day ️  ” so I had to do some kind of Valentine Treat. It was a bit difficult to think the perfect recipes right away, but an ingredient was definitely going to be CHOCOLATE. As a chocolate lover (in my head) love is equal to chocolate or the other way around.  So I came up with two ideas, but for now one of them will remain a secret. Today I prepared my CHOCOLATE COVERED TIRAMISU LOVE BITES. These are the perfect treat and a perfect gift (if you haven’t figured it out till now ), yet so easy to prepare.  Ingredients:  1.5 cups mascarpone cheese  3 cups of roughly crumbled biscuits  3 tbsp of amaro liqueur  2 tbsp of almond milk  2 tbsp of cocoa powder  3-4 tbsp of powdered sugar (taste to adjust it to your likings)  1/2 tsp of vanilla extract  For the chocolate cover:  200 gr of chocolate  2 tb...
