Valentine’s Day Recipe: Heart Petit Fours

Jump to Recipe

Sweet heart petit fours just in time for Valentine’s Day! Check out my recipe created for PAM Cooking Spray (one of my oh so sweet sponsors) below!

Valentine's Day Heart Petit Fours Recipe!

Ready for all the love, pink, red, kisses, hearts, etc.? OK, so I LOVE Valentine’s Day! A day devoted to gushing all over the ones we love? Hello, that’s my kind of celebration! These mini petit fours are my daughter’s favorite treat! I should also note they are my husband’s latest obsession too. If you like almond flavor and “wedding cake” flavor, you’ll love these!

Melt in your mouth easy Valentine's Day Petit Fours!

Teaching my daughter how to bake and enjoy time in the kitchen hasn’t been too difficult. She adores helping me stir and decorate with sprinkles of course. Everything must have sprinkles. Everrrrything. She’s not as into cleanup, however. Can’t really blame her—neither am I! You might remember my book tour for Push-Up Pops with PAM Cooking Spray. I had so much fun meeting so many Pizzazzerie followers (and eating yummies) that I just had to share more about why I love this fabulous spray. Ever had to measure out peanut butter or shortening? It’s crazy hard to get out of the measuring cup unless you spritz it with PAM Cooking Spray first. Tips, friends—I love them! Less cleanup time = more playtime for Blakely to throw Teddy Parties. <–Her favorite thing ever.

Valentine's Day Sweet Heart Petit Fours

Onto the sweet recipe! Now, I made mine in a mini heart pan, but you can easily do a sheet pan and make little squares or a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to create hearts. The idea is the same! Just remember that if you bake it in a large sheet pan you’ll need to increase your baking time a bit. I used these jumbo heart sprinkles to decorate my petit fours! You can also drizzle on chocolate or just leave them plain. They have a touch of almond flavor and will melt in your mouth!

Ingredients
  

For the Petit Four Cakes:

  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 3 egg whites

For the Glaze:

  • 4 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • Valentine’s Heart Sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Cream together butter, shortening, and sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla and beat until combined.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Alternate adding flour mixture with milk until combined.
  • Whisk egg whites until soft peaks form.
  • Fold egg whites into petit fours batter, and stir until just combined.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray baking pan with PAM Cooking Spray.
  • Bake for 5 to 10 minutes or until lightly golden (or a toothpick inserted comes out clean). My mini heart pan was very small, so 5 minutes was perfect. Watch your oven carefully.
  • Allow to cool before glazing.
  • To make glaze, combine powdered sugar, corn syrup, and extract in a double boiler, and heat until smooth. This might take a little time to heat up; just stir periodically.
  • Once smooth, dip hearts upside down in glaze, then return to wire rack to allow to cool. Decorate with a heart sprinkle. You can also heat up your glaze even further to make the glaze more “pourable” if preferred.

MORE ABOUT PAM COOKING SPRAY

With all the planning that goes into putting together the perfect dish, using PAM Cooking Spray is a sensible way to save time in the kitchen. When you use PAM, you spend less time cleaning up in the kitchen, allowing for more time to be spent with the ones you love. Bonus? PAM Cooking Spray leaves 99% less residue than leading brands of margarine or bargain-brand sprays*, so your dishes will turn out great and you’ll spend less time cleaning up.

*vs. leading cooking sprays (except olive oil), after spraying on glass bakeware, baking at 400°F for 30 minutes, cooling, and then washing in standard home dishwasher with detergent and repeating four times.
