Desserts for Valentine's Day

On Valentine’s Day, dessert often ends up the centerpiece of the evening rather than just something to close out dinner. A good Valentine’s dessert doesn’t need to be complicated — what matters more is that it looks a little special and is sized for two, since sharing one plate feels more fitting than eating from separate ones.

Chocolate takes the lead

Chocolate is the obvious, reliable choice for February 14th, and not just because it’s easy to mold into heart shapes. Dark chocolate with 70% cocoa or higher pairs well with something tart — strawberries, raspberries, orange — and its slight bitterness balances out the sweetness of everything else on the plate. Chocolate fondue with fruit and marshmallows is a simple option that turns dessert into a shared activity: melted chocolate with a bit of cream is kept warm over a small burner while everyone takes turns dipping in pieces of fruit.
