We Love Valentine’s Desserts!
We LOVE celebrating February 14th with dessert!! And I think we can all agree that it’s hard NOT to celebrate this sweet day without something sweet.
Dessert is a MUST! With that in mind, we wanted to share some of our favorite Valentine’s Day dessert recipes.
What’s not to love:
- Flavor. From rich dark chocolate desserts to berry treats to red velvet cake – we’ve got them all covered.
- Pretty! We are also sharing some pink and red desserts because they’re festive for Valentine’s Day!
- For sharing. I love to make this a special day for the entire family (or for you and your sweetheart)!
Dessert Tips
Check out our Valentine’s Dinner Ideas post for even more tips, but here are some ideas to help with the decor and dessert:
- Use cute decor. Pink, red, and heart plates make the table festive. Even a few balloons or a pretty bouquet centerpiece make it look special.
- Don’t stress if you don’t have time for dessert! We have great ideas on this list, but other store-bought ideas include Chocolate-Covered Strawberries, mini chocolate heart boxes, or favorite candy bars for each kid. An Oreo or chocolate truffle makes a sweet gift!
- Fondue is another easy dessert idea!! Use our homemade Caramel Apple Dip, Cream Cheese Fruit Dip, or Nutella Dip, and have fruits, marshmallows, and more to dip in.
- Use plastic champagne glasses for sparkling cider or another yummy drink (like our Red Velvet Milkshake) to make it more special.
- Candy. Sprinkle the table with conversation hearts or other Valentine’s candy or add a small box of chocolates to each plate as a treat for after dinner.
