Valentine's Day is the holiday for romantic desserts for two! This collection of candy, chocolates, cakes, cupcakes, and more are the perfect way to end the evening with your Valentine!
Valentine's Day has always been a special day for my husband and I.
We went on our second date ever on Valentine's Day in 2004 (our first date was the week before, on February 7th, 2004 - when I was still in college).
Now that we are parents we don't get as many date nights. Instead we try to create romantic date like moments at home, when we can.
Obviously, Valentine's Day has a special meaning for us, like it probably does for many people. And for us, celebrating often has a grand finale of amazing desserts since we both have a huge sweet tooth.
These 30 romantic desserts are perfect for two! So, if you're like me you can make a few and really indulge!
What are romantic desserts?
When it comes to Valentine's Day often romantic desserts are associated with decadent sweet treats. Lots of warm melty chocolate, like fondue, or molten cakes.
Add a splash of red to your desserts to bring in that color of romance. Adding fresh berries like raspberries, or strawberries can turn an ordinary dessert into something truly special.
Any dessert can be romantic when you're sharing it with someone you love.
Some of my favorite romantic desserts include:
- Chocolate Covered Strawberries
- Red Velvet Cake
- Chocolate Lava Cake
- Heart shaped cookies
- Creamy mousse
- White chocolate paired with fresh berries
How do you make romantic desserts for just two?
There could be many reasons why you want a dessert that is suitable to share with two. Maybe you don't want a lot of extra dessert in the house. Maybe you live with just one other person, or possibly it's Valentine's Day, and you want a romantic dessert for just the two of you.
Here are a few helpful tips.
- Small batch cookies. They are just enough to enjoy with the one you love.
- Small batch brownies
- Mug cakes or mug brownies.
- Creme Brulee, is a great treat you can make in a small batch to enjoy with someone else.
- Cupcakes, make a small batch of cupcakes, instead of a big cake
- Fondue is a great way to enjoy a dessert with the one you love.
