There is no shortage of chocolate recipes in my repertoire, but seeing as Valentine’s Day is less than a week away, I’ve handpicked these 5 recipes for you based on their effort-to-chocolate ratio: with these very easy treats, there is no excuse not to show your special someone how much you chocolove him/her.
Of course, a well-chosen present won’t hurt; check out my Valentine’s Day Gifts for Food Lovers, and all my other gift guides.
Also, if you’re in Paris, you can submit a love message to be displayed on the billboards of the city on V-Day! Doesn’t get much more romantic than that.
Three-Ingredient French Hot Chocolate (Vegan)
Can you guess the unusual ingredient that makes this vegan hot chocolate as velvety as you will find in Parisian tea rooms?
Chocolate Mousse (Vegan)
I mean, look at this rich, fluffy chocolate mousse! (Another secretly vegan recipe.)
Raw Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles
A box of these in pretty tissue paper, and his/her heart will melt.
Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chocolate Cake
My most popular chocolate cake, truffle-like and intensely chocolate flavored.
Chocolate Cookies (Gluten-free)
These crisp and crumbly cookies are made with just 4 ingredients. Perfect if you need just a touch of chocolate after dinner. Or lunch. Or with coffee. Or tea. You get the idea.
