Yield: 10 to 12 servings
 
Ingredients
    1 package (17 1/4 oz) frozen puff pastry, thawed  
    3 cups cold milk  
    1 pkg (5.2 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix  
    2 cups whipping cream  
    1 tsp. vanilla extract, divided  
    1 cup confectioners sugar  
    1 Tblsp. water  
    1/4 tsp. almond extract  
    1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips  
    1 tsp. shortening  
 
Instructions
 
  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll each puff pastry sheet into a 12-in. square. Using an 11-in. heart pattern, cut each pastry into a heart shape. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 400º for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.

 
  2. Meanwhile, combine milk and pudding mix until thickened. In a mixing bowl, beat cream and 1/2 tsp. of vanilla until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold into pudding. Split puff pastry hearts in half. Place one layer on a serving place. Top with a third of the pudding mixture. Repeat twice. Top with remaining pastry.

 
  3. In a bowl, combine confectioners sugar, water, almond extract and the remaining vanilla until smooth. Spread over top. Melt chocolate chips and shortening; pipe in diagonal lines in one direction over frosting. Beginning at 1 in. from side of heart, use a sharp knife to draw right angles across the piped lines. refrigerate until set.
