    2 Ingredient Heart Shaped Cherry Pie Bars

    Grab some refrigerated cookie dough and a can of cherry pie filling and make these 2 Ingredient Heart Shaped Cherry Pie Bars. They are delightfully easy to make for Valentine's Day.

    Just 2 ingredients is all you need to make these Heart Shaped Cherry Pie Bars. See this Valentine's Day recipe at HungryHappenings.com.

    Don't you just love being able to whip up simple yet festive desserts for a holiday?

    These heart-shaped cherry pie bars could not be easier to make.

    Seriously.

    Grab some refrigerated cookie dough and a can of cherry pie filling and make these 2 Ingredient Heart Shaped Cherry Pie Bars. They are delightfully easy to make for Valentine's Day.

    As with most holidays, I am super busy, always trying to get as many new recipes created as possible so I can share them with you.

    I know your version of busy is different than mine, but I'm guessing you appreciate having quick and easy recipes to make for holidays and special occasions just as much as I do.

    The idea to make these easy cherry pie bars came from a recipe created for Tablespoon.com. When I saw how sugar cookie dough was combined with cherry pie filling to make a pan full of bars in a few minutes, I just had to try them.

    Valentine's Day Cherry Pie Hearts

    I loved that bits of the red cherry filling peaked out amidst the cookie dough and immediately imagined what they would look like shaped like hearts for Valentine's Day.

    To turn the cherry pie bars into hearts, I used one of my absolute favorite kitchen tools, a silicone heart mold.

    I've used these same molds to create a new dessert every single Valentine's Day since I began blogging.

    Use heart shaped silicone molds to make amazing Valentine's Day desserts including Conversation Heart Cheesecakes, Cranberry Semifreddo, and Cheesecake Stuffed Brownie Hearts. See the recipes at HungryHappenings.com.

    Over the years, I've used the silicone heart molds to make:

    • Naturally Colored Conversation Heart Cheesecakes,
    • Cranberry Orange Semifreddo Hearts,
    • Rainbow Cheesecake Hearts,
    • Raspberry Cheesecake Stuffed Brownie Hearts,
    • Traditional Conversation Heart Cheesecakes,
    • Dairy Free Chocolate Covered Strawberry Mousse Hearts

    If you've not ever used a silicone mold, I highly recommend you give them a try. They have a naturally non-stick surface and can be used to create baked goods, frozen treats, or chocolate.

    Just 2 ingredients is all you need to make these Heart Shaped Cherry Pie Bars. See this Valentine's Day recipe at HungryHappenings.com.

    To make these Heart Shaped Cherry Pie Bars all you need to do is break up refrigerated sugar cookie dough and place a heaping tablespoonful into a heart-shaped cavity, press it into an even layer with a small lip around the edge.

    Spoon on some cherry pie filling and top with small pieces of cookie dough.

    If you want to add another flavor dimension, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar over the cookie dough before adding the pie filling.

    2 Ingredient Heart Shaped Cherry Pie Bars are a perfectly easy dessert to make for Valentine's Day. See just how easy they are to make at HungryHappenings.com.

    Pop them in the oven and bake until golden brown and bubbly.

    In order for your hearts to keep their shape, they need to be cooled completely before you can remove them from the molds. I found it quickest to just pop them in the freezer until they firm up enough to easily push them out of the mold.

    2 Ingredient Heart Shaped Cherry Pie Bars are a perfectly easy dessert to make for Valentine's Day. See just how easy they are to make at HungryHappenings.com.

    You can serve these sweet Valentine's Day treats at room temperature or pop them in a 250-degree oven for 5-8 minutes just to warm them through.

    You can even package them in individual cellophane bags, tie them with a ribbon, and give them away as gifts or use them as party favors.

      What temperature do you bake these at the first time around? I saw that you can warm them at 250 degrees after they are finished, but I did not see the temperature to bake them at for 25-30 minutes. Thanks!
