Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing the fruit purees that will bring vibrant flavors to our pastry. Combine **200 grams of passionfruit puree** and **200 grams of lychee puree** in a bowl. Mix well until they are fully incorporated. These purees will provide a delightful tropical taste that enhances the overall dessert.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine **250 grams of all-purpose flour** and **125 grams of cold, cubed unsalted butter**. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Next, add **100 grams of powdered sugar**, **1 large egg**, and **1 teaspoon of vanilla extract**. Mix until it forms a smooth dough, being careful not to overwork it.
Step 3
Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least **30 minutes**. Chilling the dough helps it firm up, making it easier to roll out and ensuring a tender pastry once baked.
Step 4
After chilling, remove the dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about **5 mm thick** (approximately 0.2 inches). Use a heart-shaped cutter to cut out the pastry shape. Carefully transfer the cutouts to a lined baking sheet. This is where the pastry gets its lovely heart shape, perfect for any occasion!
Step 5
Preheat your oven to **180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)**. Bake the pastry shapes for about **12-15 minutes**, or until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as baking times may vary. Once they are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
Step 6
Once cooled, carefully add a layer of the **lychee and passionfruit puree** on top of one pastry heart, and gently press another pastry heart on top to create a delightful sandwich. This filling adds an aromatic tropical essence that pairs perfectly with the buttery pastry.
Step 7
Your vibrant heart pastries are now ready to serve! They can be enjoyed as a delightful dessert or a special treat for your loved ones. Don't forget to take beautiful photos to celebrate the creative cooking process and the finished pastries.
Servings
Imagine a lovely afternoon tea where your heart-shaped pastries take center stage. Arrange them on a beautiful cake stand surrounded by fresh flowers for an enchanting touch. Pair your pastries with a selection of fragrant teas for an unforgettable experience. 🌸
For a more casual vibe, serve your pastries on a colorful picnic blanket during a spring outing. Add a few seasonal fruits, like strawberries or blueberries, to complement the vibrant flavors of the pastries and create a feast for the senses! 🍓
And don't forget to drizzle some additional passion fruit sauce over the top for an extra burst of sweetness! Your guests will be raving about the combination of flavors!

Variations
Gluten-Free: Simply substitute regular flour with a gluten-free blend! Be sure to check the texture as you mix; adjusting liquid levels may be necessary. Your heart-shaped pastries will still be light and airy without the gluten!
Vegan: Swap eggs for flaxseed eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water for each egg). Use plant-based butter or coconut oil for a vegan-friendly pastry that still delights the taste buds! 🌱
Enjoy making these variations that everyone can indulge in!
Faq
- Can I make these pastries ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the pastry dough a day early and store it wrapped in the fridge. Just allow it to come to room temperature before rolling out.
- What if I don't have silicone molds?
No problem! You can use traditional metal baking molds; just be sure to grease them well so the pastries come out easily.
- How do I get a shiny finish on my pastries?
A clear, glossy glaze can be achieved by gently heating apricot jam and brushing it on top after baking.
- Can I use different fruit purées?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different flavors, such as raspberry or mango, for a unique take on the recipe.
- What’s the best way to store leftover pastries?
Keep any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or in the fridge for up to three days.
- How can I ensure even baking?
Place your baking pan in the center of the oven and rotate it halfway through baking for even heat distribution.
