All you need is love, but his or her favorite sweet, goes a long way, too. "Mr. Shop This " has already put in his request for my Mom's Italian Cream cake baked in his mom's heart shaped pans. Done. Any one of these fabulous recipes will certainly please your sweetie! Apologies for the lack of posts, but "Miss Shop This" made a surprise appearance this week. Lucky me!
Chocolate Espresso Heart Cake
Another use for that heart shape pan of mine! Chocolatey goodness with the prettiest pink frosting. The edible flowers add the finishing touch. Now if I could only get the frosting that smooth...
Chocolate Soufflé
Here's the best recipe for one of my favorite desserts. I just think it has a certain sex appeal, especially if you douse it with a little liquor like Grand Mariner. Beginners will love the details.
This recipe will make you want to bust out the bubbly. In fact, it is a must do. These terrific truffles will make anyone feel extra special.
Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies
These beauties look so good! They are said to be super easy. I do a brownie with a cream cheese swirl, and it is yummy.
Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies
I remember having chocolate covered marshmallow cookies as a kid. They weren't half as pretty as these. The recipe calls for rice and almond flour. Very impressive.
Chocolate Heart Meringue Cups with Whipped Cream and Berries
Could anything be more festive? The meringue makes this a very light but lovely dessert. Just make sure you have plenty of time. The meringue takes two hours to bake.
Raspberry and Pistachio Semifreddo
How I miss this dish at Chicago's Spiaggia (now gone). It's creamy but frozen. Very special and not difficult to make.
Red Velvet Crêpes with Chocolate Whipped Cream
I have a crepe maker and never use it! What's wrong with me? This recipe will be made some day.
Surprise your sweetheart, with a little something EXTRA for dessert.
Isn't this fun?
Strawberry Nutella French Toast Roll Ups
Serve these for breakfast, brunch or dinner. They whip up in 15 minutes, and are just so cute!
Chocolate and red wine are a delicious duo. It really is a mug of love.
And yes, this is my idea of romance. It just wouldn't be right, if they weren't served in bed. That's where the romance comes in. Just Yum!
