Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.Start with the crust. Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and cocoa powder in a large bowl. Stir together with a fork. With a pastry cutter, or two knives, cut in the butter until the pieces are very small (size of peas) and butter is well incorporated in the mixture.Separate the egg - place the yolk in a small bowl and the whites in another small bowl. Using a fork, beat the yolk with the heavy cream for about 20 seconds. Stir in the egg + heavy cream mixture with the flour mixture.Stir and knead until combined. You will think there isn't enough moisture, but just keep kneading and it will come together. (Read the post for more notes on this)Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge while you work on the filling.Combine the strawberry jam, lemon juice, and almond extract in a very small pot over low-medium heat. Stir. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.Slowly add the cornstarch to the jam mixture and whisk. Let the mixture simmer over low-medium heat for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let stand while you roll out the dough.Melt the butter and combine it with the powdered sugar. Stir until combined. It will be thick and dough-like. Add in the vanilla and food coloring and stir again. This glaze is supposed to be very thick. It will melt to the perfect consistency on the warm pastries.Roll out the dough to 1/8th an inch thickness (very thin!) Using a heart cookie cutter, cut out as many pieces as you can. Then combine the dough and re-roll continuing to cut as many hearts as possible.I found it easiest to roll out the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap (parchment paper would work too) or make sure to have a well-floured surface*Spread a layer of nutella on half of the cut-out hearts. Top with about 1/2 tbsp. or a rounded teaspoon of the jam mixture on each heart. Make sure to spread the jam mixture so the heart is filled with it, but making sure to avoid the edges, Place another heart cut out on top, and crimp the edges with the end of a fork (otherwise the mixture will ooze out).Place the pastries on a tray and cook for about 7-8 minutes (Mine all took exactly 7 minutes)Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire cooling rack. Let cool for one minute and then spread the glaze over the pastries. The thick glaze with melt and top the pastries perfectly. Top with sprinkles and let cool completely.

Food Joke

When Bill and Hillary first got married, Bill said, "I am putting a box under our bed. You must promise never to look in it." In all their 30 years of marriage, Hillary never looked. However, on the afternoon of their 30th anniversary, curiosity got the better of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box there were 3 empty beer cans and $1,874.25 in cash. After dinner, Hillary could no longer contain her guilt and she confessed, saying, "I am so sorry. For all these years I kept my promise and never looked in the box under our bed. However, today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now I need to know why do you keep the empty cans in the box?" Bill thought for a while and said, "I guess that after all these years you deserve to know the truth. Whenever I was unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again." Hillary was shocked, but said, "I am very disappointed and saddened, but I guess after all those years away from home on the road, temptation does happen and I guess that 3 times is not that bad considering the number of years we've been together." They hugged and made their peace. A little while later, Hillary asked Bill, "So why do you have all that money in the box?" Bill answered, "Well, whenever the box filled up with empty cans, I took them to the recycling center and redeemed them for cash."
