Looking for something a little different for your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day? Not a baker? No worries. Check out these 3 surefire recipes that will make you look like a dessert rockstar. Let’s get ready to wow your sweetheart!
1) Bling~Edible Gold Leaf
Um, yes. Edible gold leaf will definitely gain you points this Valentine’s Day. Trust me, I’m a dessert love doctor. Okay, I’m kidding, but I would totally like gold leaf on my desserts. Ediblegold.com has a fab offer for this Valentine’s Day with their edible gold gift set for $39.95. The gift set includes gold or silver flakes. Order by 2 pm and the shipment goes out the same day!
Here are a few ways to use edible gold or silver:
Sprinkle in champagne or sparkling cider
Add it to milk, dark or white covered strawberries before the chocolate sets
2) White chocolate mousse with fresh raspberries ( you can even sprinkle the gold leaf over the white chocolate mousse. )
Raspberry White Chocolate Mousse via Allrecipes
3) Vanilla or Chocolate Ice Cream topped with warm cherry compote (cue more gold leaf)
Nectarine Cherry Compote via Taste of Home
