    Cupid's Raspberry Swirl

    Valentine's Day isn't something that is hugely popular among the Amish. You don't often see an Amish man bringing home a heart-shaped box of Russell Stover candies to his sweetie. The Amish do, however, observe Valentine's Day through a pop culture lens.  Amish kids will often exchange Valentine cards at school and kitchens will come alive with homemade candies, chocolates,and other sweet desserts to celebrate one's love , like this Cupid's Amish Raspberry Swirl.

    • 💘5 Amish Valentine's Day Recipes
    • 🖨️Printer-Friendly Cupid's Raspberry Swirl

    I remember visiting an Amish woman's home one Valentine's Day and she was making little heart-shaped glazed doughnuts.  Man, they were good and very festively captured the spirit of the day without being ostentatious about it.  Generally, that is the key to any Amish observance of days popular in pop culture, a low-key, fun observance.

    This is a recipe that I got from an Amish woman in Ohio at some point through the years.  Now, this recipe does call for uncooked eggs and I know that makes some people squeamish or at least is something you should be alert about.  The egg is contained in the topping, it wouldn't bother me. Buying pasteurized eggs generally eliminates risk or you can can pastuerize them yourself.   Anyway, enjoy this recipe.  Recipe tester Barbara gave it a whirl and says that her husband loved it.

    "Mr just loved this.  He said tasted like an airy ice cream dessert, very light and fluffy.  The crust was good and went well with the dessert. My thoughts, I tasted and was actually good.  Not crazy about doing a dessert with raw eggs.
    Need to take out of the freezer for about half hour in order to get the crust out of the pan."

    So if you are looking for a sweet treat for your sweetie on Valentine's Day, use some Amish inspiration and make this!

    Gathering the ingredients

    Very basic ingredients like eggs, butter, raspberries, and cream are the hallmark of this recipe. Classic Amish creative cooking and this definitely exudes a Valentine's Day feel.

    Be careful whenever you use raw eggs in a dish

    Make sure you use pastuerized eggs in the topping or just skip this part altogether.

    Yum, make this for your sweetie!

    So, if a simple recipe like this can bring your some Valentine cheer, considering making it, it is delicious!

      You said in the directions - 3 eggs separated. To me Kevin, freezing is as good as heat!!!!
      Keep icing it - Place an order on Amazon - Pain Cakes - They are great - keep in the refrigerator and take out and put on your knee or whatever - and they stick. Take off after right time and put back in frig.
