It’s difficult to imagine Valentine’s Day without dessert. The holiday has become synonymous with decadent chocolates and juicy berries, sweet candies and scrumptious baked goods. Deep down, we all know why—dessert goes hand in hand with love, pleasure, and sensuality. That’s why we’ve made a list of desserts to entice your lover this Valentine’s Day. Each one is simple to prepare, but sophisticated on the plate, sure to impress before your big night of romance.
Cheesecake
Cheesecake is the ultimate romantic dessert—creamy, smooth, sweet, decadent. There are a ton of flavor options too, so you can satisfy whatever you’re craving. Go all out and bake one in the oven or try an easy no-bake alternative with only a few ingredients, depending on how much time you have. Either way, your lover will be sure to find it delicious and want to return the favor.

Pot de crème
Pot de crème—what we Americans would deem “fancy pudding”— is a decadent yet simple french custard. While the restaurant-style dessert will surely impress your lover, you could always take the easy route and dress up a box of pudding mix with fruit, pirouline wafters, and whipped cream.

banana split
Banana splits have an old school charm about them. They bring back pleasant childhood memories and leave you with a pleasant sugar rush afterwards. They are also so simple to make, considering all you have to do is assemble toppings of your choice on top of ice cream and bananas. Be sure to ask your lover about their favorite toppings, and maybe bring them back to the bedroom with you.
