I love making things with my own two hands and that is why, when Valentine’s Day is round the corner, I take my chef’s hat off the hook and prepare myself to create the dishes for the special occasion.
I want to share with you here some Valentine recipes that I found to always be a blast with my husband. Here is one recipe that only takes 10 minutes to make and a few hours to leave in the fridge before serving.
That leaves you enough time to make yourself beautiful for the evening.
This is the recipe for Chocolate Wafer Roll. For that, we need a cup filled with heavy cream, half a spoon of vanilla extract, a quarter of a cup of powdered sugar. All these are enough for filling twenty chocolate wafers.
Just mix all the ingredients in a bowl, using a mixer, and then fill the wafers. The filled wafers must be placed in the fridge for several hours, and served later with whipped cream on top.If you like to bake a pie, I have something for you: the brownie pie.
You will need the following ingredients: a package of chocolate pudding, some milk, whipped topping, a package of brownie mix. Just read the instructions on the package and follow them step by step. Once ready, you can decorate the pie with pudding, and chocolate pieces. This recipe is also easy to make and leaves you with plenty of time to prepare for the night.
For a special treat, I suggest you a specialty: chocolate-covered cherries. Use a big bowl to mix in it the next ingredients: butter, syrup made of corn, milk, some vanilla extract, and sugar. All these will turn into a dough that you will use to cover the cherries, obtaining round forms. Put them in the freezer. In another bowl, mix some melted chocolate with shortening. After the cherry balls have chilled, dip them into the melted chocolate.
I hope you will find these Valentine recipes to be easy to make and a real treat.
