How to Make Sweetheart Jamwiches

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour a clean work surface.
  2. Unfold two (14.1 ounce) packages of refrigerated pie crusts on the floured surface and gently roll out to even thickness, pressing out any fold lines.
  3. Use a 2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many hearts as possible. Reroll scraps and repeat.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk one large egg white. Brush one side of each heart with the egg white. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  5. Arrange pastry hearts on two ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until light golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and transfer hearts to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the hearts cool, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter (softened), and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract until smooth and creamy.
  8. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the unsugared side of half the hearts. Top with about 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite jam or preserves.
  9. Top with the remaining hearts, unsugared side down, to create the sandwiches.
  10. Microwave 4 ounces of white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl on high for 1 minute. Stir until completely smooth and melted.
  11. Transfer the melted white chocolate to a small zip-top bag. Snip a tiny corner and drizzle over the assembled jam sandwiches.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  13. Before serving, sprinkle with red sanding sugar, if desired.
