Music is such a powerful force in my life—it moves me, inspires me, and even influences my recipes, like this one. The recipe is inspired by Beloved, a beautiful song by Ben Barnes. While widely recognized as an accomplished actor, some may not know he is also an incredibly gifted singer, musician and songwriter. Among his many beautiful songs, this one is a favourite of mine. I was especially inspired by the lyrics: “You are beloved, so be loved.” I love the clever wordplay and the deep, meaningful message behind those words. It made me reflect on the ways we can show love and appreciation to loved ones. That’s how this recipe was born—a sweet little token of love to remind the special people in our lives that they are cherished and loved 💖.

Sprinkles recipe fun facts:

• DAIRY-FREE WHITE BAKING CHIPS – are made with cane sugar making a healthier alternative to traditional white chocolate and are also dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan.

• NATURAL RED FOOD COLOURING – is an allergen-friendly alternative that uses natural ingredients to source the colouring versus traditional food colourings.

So, let’s spread some love! 💕 Whether you’re making these for your sweetheart, friends, or loved ones or as a little act of self-care, these Pink Love Hearts are a sweet way to say, You are Beloved. Ready to make something magical? 💕

Ingredients

Pink Love Hearts

1 cup vegan white baking chips (or regular white baking chips)
1 tsp coconut oil
15-30 drops natural red food colouring

Equipment

small-medium stainless steel bowl (or heatproof glass bowl)
small saucepan
silicone spatula (large metal spoon)
silicone heart-shaped chocolate mold (or plastic candy/chocolate heart molds)
small assorted bowls
metal spoons
parchment paper
piping bag (or ziplock bag for DIY piping bag)
large plate (or a baking tray)
oven mitts

Instructions

MAKING PINK LOVE HEARTS

Melting the White Baking Chips (Double Boiler Method)

Fill the saucepan with 1–2 inches of water and place a heatproof bowl on top, making sure it fits snugly but doesn’t touch the water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Add the coconut oil and let it melt. Then, add the white baking chips and stir constantly with a silicone spatula until smooth.
Once fully melted, turn off the heat and carefully remove the bowl.
Let it cool for 2–3 minutes. Set aside 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate for optional piping.

Piping the Lettering in the Mold (Optional, but Highly Recommended)

This step is optional but adds a cute, decorative touch with different shades of pink. If you’d like to give it a try, let’s do it!
Mix a few drops of natural red food colouring into the reserved melted white baking chips. Add the colour gradually until you reach your desired shade.
For the deep pink-red hue in the photos, I used about 20–30 drops for 1 tablespoon of melted white baking chips. If you prefer a natural alternative, beet juice or beet powder works beautifully, though it will slightly alter the flavour.
Transfer the coloured 'chocolate' to a piping bag with a small tip and carefully pipe the letters into the mold. If it slightly overflows, don’t stress—it’s all about the love and effort, not perfection.
Place the mold in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to set before moving on to the next step.

Filling the Mold

Time to fill the mold! I prefer silicone molds because the chocolates release easily, but plastic molds work too.
Place the mold on a tray or plate to make transferring to the fridge or freezer easier and to catch spills.
Now for a little Valentine’s magic! Tint the melted white baking chips with red food colouring to create beautiful pink hues.
Feel free to mix different shades—separating the white chocolate into small bowls and adjusting the amount of food colouring in each will give you a gorgeous gradient effect.
Using a spoon, carefully fill each mold to the top without overflowing.
Once all the molds are filled, transfer them to the fridge or freezer. If using the fridge, allow 40–50 minutes to set; in the freezer, 20–30 minutes should do the trick.

Removing the Pink Love Hearts from the Molds

Once your Pink Love Hearts are fully set, it’s time for the big reveal! Have a parchment-lined plate or tray ready to place them on.
Gently press on the back of each mold, using your thumb to push the chocolates out while slightly bending the mold if needed. They should release easily with little effort.
Now, if you want to do a little quality control taste test, I highly recommend it! 😉
From here, you can package these sweet treats in a cute tin or box for gifting, store them in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer, or (let’s be honest) enjoy them right away! Enjoy, dear friends!

Notes

This recipe makes 8 chocolates (1 standard heart-shaped mold).

* I used Camino White Baking Chips because they’re my favourite, but feel free to use whatever ones you like—just note that results may vary.

TIP: If the melted white baking chips start to thicken up while you're working, no worries! Just place the bowl back on the double boiler and melt it down again.

STORAGE: Store in the fridge for a week in an airtight container or tin. Store in the freezer for 1-2 months in an airtight container, but that is if they last that long.

WANT MORE?: Need a bigger batch for all your loved ones? Just double the recipe and spread even more love! 💝

EXTRA FUN: Got extra melted chocolate? Why not practice some piping? You can create cute little messages to go with your treats or use the extra chocolate as toppers for other Valentine’s goodies—like my Easy Vanilla Strawberry Cupcakes or Very Vanilla Cake (wink wink). Just have fun with it!

Enjoy!
