Ah, Valentine’s Day – that magical time of the year when love is in the air, chocolate is abundant, and your diet goes on an unspoken holiday. If you’re scrambling for the perfect way to impress your significant other (or just looking for an excuse to eat a whole cake yourself), you’ve come to the right place. After all, nothing says “I love you” like sugar, butter, and a dash of “I definitely deserve this” guilt.
Forget the usual flowers and sappy cards; if you really want to win hearts (or at least stomachs), you need a dessert that makes a statement. Whether you’re looking to serenade your sweetheart with something decadent or just drown your single sorrows in whipped cream, these 8 romantic Valentine’s Day desserts are sure to do the trick.
Really, this is the perfect time to show love through a delicious homemade dessert or a whole 3-course meal. This time, skip the crowded restaurants and create your romantic ambiance at home with some of my suggestions!
Whether you’re baking for a partner, friends, or simply for yourself (why not!), these easy desserts will make Valentine’s Day feel, you know, extra special.
