How to make Love Heart Valentine's Day Cheesecake Until I started planning the recipe for this Love Heart Valentine's Day Cheesecake, I didn't know that the sweets we know as love hearts in the UK, are known as conversation hearts in the USA. If you've not heard of either before, they are little pastel coloured sweets or candies with love related phrases on them such as 'kiss me' or 'it's love'. They were the inspiration for this cheesecake, which is perfect for a Valentine's Day treat! The base is made from pink vanilla wafer biscuits, the filling is a creamy no bake vanilla cheesecake, then I coloured some white chocolate with pink food colouring to drizzle over it, and finally added whipped cream, heart sprinkles and love heart sweets of course! Ingredient Tips & Equipment Information And again, sure any decorations you're using don't contain animal gelatin, animal-based food colouring or other animal products. Is this recipe gluten-free?

The easiest way to add or change the flavours in your chocolate hearts is to use different toppings. You could use crushed nuts, small pieces of candied or dried fruits, different sprinkles or even fizzy sweets.If you don't want to use pink wafers for the base, you can use digestive biscuits instead and increase the butter to 135g. You can use either butter or baking spread for the biscuit base, I find that baking spread makes the cheesecake easier to remove from the tin as it doesn't make the base set as solidly.

Pour an even coating of sprinkles in the bottom of each heart mold. If desired put a single M&M in the middle of the sprinkles with the M side facing up. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave by putting chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwaving for 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate. Microwave an additional 15 seconds. Stir. Repeat until chocolate is just melted and smooth. Stir in coconut oil, one teaspoon at a time until the chocolate slides easily off the spoon and is shiny. Spoon into the molds, covering the sprinkles. Tap the mold in between to encourage the chocolate to settle evenly. Add the vanilla extract. Your kids can hold the measuring spoon while you pour it in, or vice versa. Or older children might be able to do both themselves.
