Combine 1/4 cup sugar, cream cheese and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in bowl; beat until creamy. Add 1/2 cup whipping cream; continue beating until soft peaks form. Place 1/2 cup whipping cream into saucepan; cook over low heat until bubbles form around edge of pan. Place dark chocolate chips into separate bowl; pour hot whipping cream over top. Stir until melted and smooth. Set aside.

Place 4 remaining hearts, filling-side down, onto raspberries. Spoon ganache over tops; allow to drip down sides.
