February, traditionally ‘the month
of love’, always makes us think of romantic meals beginning
with breakfast in bed and ending with a quiet dinner for two
complete with a decadent dessert made to be enjoyed by two.
Although it is sometimes difficult to prepare
a dessert for just two servings, there are many desserts that
come to mind that are perfect for intimate occasions.
The language of love is very touch oriented
and with a little imagination, you can prepare desserts that
are not only delectable to eat, but also fun to eat with one’s
fingers and even picked up and fed to each other. What could
be more decadent and romantic than truffles? Our recipe for
Bourbon
Espresso Truffles are easier to make than one might guess
and can be customized with your own special touches by getting
creative with liqueurs and topping decorations. Or, how about
fresh fruit dipped in dark luxious chocolate fondue?….Very
sexy and a spectacular finish to a lovely meal.
Infused
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries is a perfect finger food
dessert Even though this is February, fresh fruit, even strawberries
can now be found almost year round in most grocery stores.
Try Truffle
Iced Hearts, these adorable heart shaped cookies are perfect
with the evening’s last cup of cappuccino.
Shared Desserts
Another great and romantic idea is to make
one incredible dessert and share it. Make an extra large portion
and serve it in a decorative serving dish. Two great ideas
for shared desserts are Banana’s Foster and Grilled Banana
Splits. If you don’t want to run out to the grill to
cook the bananas, you can place them under the broiler.
