Valentine Fruit Heart Treat
Non-candy Valentine’s Day treats can be just as fun as all those sweets! Read on to see how to make a super cute fruit heart! This heart shaped fruit is all the treat you need!
Valentine’s Day is a holiday that I just, well, absolutely LOVE! I feel so blessed to have so much love in my life that I simply can’t get enough of Cupid’s favorite day, especially this year.
In fact, I am especially ready to celebrate something happy in 2023. It has been a rough few years for every single one of us and I think we could all use an extra dose of love!
And all that we’ve gone through aside, maybe I adore Valentine’s Day so much because now the holiday is more about celebrating with my hubs and making the day special for our children. There is nothing quite like seeing the excitement your child exhibits over the little things, even something as simple as a seasonal snack.
My babies get so tickled over even the smallest gesture or holiday themed treat. So, while I don’t go crazy with the spending for Valentine’s Day, I do like to put together some special surprises for my family and often that involves sweet treats. That being said, sweet doesn’t have to mean candy based.
Not that I am opposed to candy, they get those kind of treats too, but I like to throw in some healthier options as well.
Healthy Fruit Heart Dessert
In my younger years, Galentine’s Day wasn’t quite a thing yet. There was a lot more anxiety attached to the holiday if you were single back then. I know. It’s just plain ridiculous to think about now. Sigh.
Valentine’s Day is about LOVE and love comes in all forms after all. So, if you aren’t attached to a partner this February 14th, remember, you can treat ANYONE you love, that means your mom, sister, bestie you name it. If you care for them, how them!
And this Valentine fruit heart treat is a super cute treat to share! It’s also a great way to start the day without it being all about sugary treats. It would be perfect to pair with a bowl of yogurt or oatmeal to start the kids’ day off with on February 14th. After all, you know those class Valentine’s Day parties are going to be sugar filled!
Why Healthy Valentine’s Day Treats Call Still Satisfy Your Cravings
So, how do you make a heart out of fruit? It’s actually pretty darn easy…Here’s how we created this pretty plate, although I’m sure you could fill your own Valentine Fruit Heart with any type of fruit that your family covets!
I’m partial to berries myself as they satisfy my cravings for sweets. So, I make my fruit heart dessert tray with whatever berries are available at the time. Raspberries, blueberries and strawberries are my favorites though!

Valentine Fruit Heart Treat
This Valentine fruit heart is a great non-candy Valentine's Day treat for kis!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup strawberries
- 1/2 cup red seedless grapes
- medium size plate or platter
Instructions
1. After rinsing your fruit, start by making a heart outline using the fresh raspberries. I used raspberries for the outline because they don’t roll like the other fruits. Then, I played around with the raspberries, spacing them out and adding more as needed.
2. Next, fill the heart in with your other fruit. I chose to do equal parts of the blueberries and grapes and used strawberries more for garnish, but you can do whatever suits your needs or that you have on hand.
