How to make hearts out of food?
Use a Heart-Shaped Cookie Cutter
For fruits and veggies: Slice items like watermelon, cucumbers, or bell peppers and cut out heart shapes with cookie cutters.
For sandwiches or bread: Press the cutter into slices of bread, tortillas, or even pancakes for adorable heart-shaped bites.
Mold Meats or Dough by Hand
Ground meats: Shape meatballs or burger patties into hearts by flattening slightly and pinching the top to form the “mound” and the bottom into a point.
Doughs: Roll out pie crusts, pizza dough, or cookie dough, then hand-shape or cut into hearts.
Use a Knife for Precision
For softer foods like cheese, chocolate, or even brownies, slice into pieces and carefully trim into a heart shape with a sharp knife.
Arrange Ingredients into Hearts
Lay out items like cherry tomatoes, strawberries, or pretzels in the shape of a heart on a platter for a simple yet festive presentation.
