How to cut strawberries into a heart shape:
It’s best to start with strawberries that have a heart shape naturally. Take a washed strawberry and cut a v shape into the top to remove the stem. You can also hull the strawberry (this technique is a bit more advanced). Then trim the side of the strawberry to reveal the heart shape. You can use the best strawberry heart pieces for these dessert and save the scraps to eat later.
