Easy Romantic Desserts to Make at Home

Desserts can be a perfect romantic treat regardless of what time it is or which season of the year. What’s more, you don’t even need a reason to eat desserts. It’s akin to being kind to yourself and treating your soul. You can, and should, do it whenever you feel like it!

But, apart from the stigma to surrounding desserts, the fear of not being able to make them also comes into play. But rest assured, we’ve got something for you. Firstly, the good news that desserts can be good for health. Secondly, they can be easy to make!

Here are a few desserts that you can make at home and give yourself a delicious, romantic time.

Chocolate Mug Cake

Beginning with the classic mood-boosters and, not to mention, everyone’s favorite, chocolate cakes. Chocolate mug cakes are perfect if you don’t want to spend an entire evening making a cake. All you will need is a few basic ingredients and a microwave. Making a mug cake requires less than 10 minutes and it’s just as good as your cravings would want it to be! Here’s the recipe to one that takes around 5 minutes of prepping and a minute of microwaving. It’s a single-serving cake so you don’t need to worry about losing self-control either.

Pudding

Apart from being a great dessert, puddings also serve as a healthy, savory dish. They’re good for calcium and vitamin D, and other nutritional value. If you’re like most people, you’re probably picturing the ready-to-eat puddings sold at grocery stores. However, you can make them at home without much effort. All you need is a few ingredients and some minutes to spare in the kitchen! There are many flavors for pudding—vanilla, chocolate, butterscotch etc. Here’s a recipe that only takes three basic ingredients to make caramel pudding.

Chocolate Fondant

Given how easy they are to make, chocolate fondants were probably invented by someone who didn’t want to spend time making traditional chocolate cakes. But that isn’t to say they aren’t as good; in fact, they might be better for some occasions. Additionally, it’s so simple to make that this might become your favorite chocolate dessert. Just like all the other recipes, this one uses just a few ingredients and a little bit of your time to make. Here’s a link to a simple recipe for chocolate fondant.

Strawberry Eton Mess

Eton mess is a really quick and simple dessert to make. Despite being incredibly easy to make, Eton mess tastes just as amazing as it looks. It is believed to have originated in Eton College, UK, as a traditional dessert to be served at the annual cricket match between Eton College and Harrow College teams. Not to worry, though; you can make it even if you aren’t a student of Eton College! So get yourself some strawberries, meringue, and whipped cream to get started. Here’s a simple recipe to get you going.

Now that you have the ammunition for some excellent desserts that don’t take too long to make, hopefully you will have fun satiating your cravings without feeling too guilty about it. Go all out on the desserts!
