How to Make Black Forest Sweet Heart Tarts

  4. Gently fold in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup cherry pie filling with 1/4 teaspoon almond extract.
  6. For each tart, spread a layer of cherry pie filling over the cake heart shape or square.
  7. Top generously with the whipped cream.
  8. Garnish with chocolate curls (approximately 1 tablespoon per tart) and slivered almonds (approximately 1 teaspoon per tart), if desired.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
