For easy desserts for Valentine’s Day, it doesn’t get better than these adorable heart shaped strawberry shortcakes! An easy no-bake dessert that your Valentine will love.

Adorable Heart-Shaped and Super Easy Desserts for Valentine's Day #15MinuteSuppers

I love easy desserts! I love Valentine’s Day! This is a match made in heaven and it’s ready in less than 15 minutes. I used store bought ingredients because I needed this to be super quick (hey…a short cut is good sometimes). I made another super quick dessert using this same pound cake, but it’s more adult themed….you have to check out my boozy pound cake with orange liqueur creme. It’s to-die-for! But these heart-shaped, easy valentine’s desserts are perfect for the whole family.

Have you following all of my 15 Minute Suppers posts? They have been so much fun. Each week, I team up with some friends and share a meal that you can get on your table is only 15 minutes. Well, this week we decided it would be fun to a Valentine’s dessert themed challenge. So keep reading after the recipe to find links to a bunch of other quick desserts for Valentine’s Day!

Adorable Heart-Shaped and Super Easy Desserts for Valentine's Day #15MinuteSuppers

I realize this strawberry shortcake isn’t the most original idea in the world, but using a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to shape the cake into mini hearts and then layering everything creates an impressive yet super easy and scrumptious dessert!

So, this really isn’t a recipe, but more of a quick technique. Super easy!

    Genius idea to dress up my usual Sara Lee pound cake! And yes, pound cake is the only way to go with Strawberry Shortcake. IMHO. 🙂 Thanks, it was delicious and fun!

    I have that same exact heart cutter set. I never thought to cut the shortcake in to heart shapes. I love your dessert! Easy and always delicious.
