It kinda reminds me of a round chocolate candy. I'm guessing the dark areas left and right of the "heart" are the bare surface and the lighter areas above the "heart" are where nitrogen has frozen onto the surface as a frost. The "heart" itself looks like some kind of very young ice feature based on how smooth and bright it is.
