Stressing over making a homemade dessert for Valentine’s Day? Don’t worry, my loves, I gotcha covered with a few simple, quick options:
Chocolate Almond and Apricot Truffles

Chocolate almond apricot truffles are an easy cookie to make. Gluten-free flour works in this recipe, by the way (I used Bob's Red Mill).
Or you could salvage a broken cake with my Chocolate Cherry Trifle:

This trifle is any easy way to salvage a broken cake, or use up leftover chunks of chocolate cake or brownies. The layers make it look pretty and deliberate 😉
Another fun and easy option: Molten Chocolate Cakes with a Middle Eastern Flair

This cake is really molten, to the point of oozing apart like lava. Ha! If you'd rather keep it together, just bake in ramekins to serve.
If chocolate’s not your bag, but jewels are, consider:
Bejeweled Biscotti with a Persian Twist:

Persianized biscotti. Yes, these cookies could be dipped in melted chocolate, if you're so inclined.
Dunk your biscotti in some Persian Hot Chocolate:
Portion Control a Concern? Try:
Frozen Hot Chocolate “Shots” With a Goat Yogurt Topping
I hope these options help. I’m working on one more chocolatey goody, which tastes amazing, and is gluten and dairy free. I’ll post it soon.
all of these goodies are gorgeous, Bria- btw i am coming to NY to celebrate my husband’s birthday (it’s a surprise for him-mid-March) and we *must* meet this time round- sorry we couldnt coord last time. happy V-Day in advance! x shayma
