Everyone goes about expressing their love differently. Some want to go all out, and some prefer a more low-key approach. However, it’s safe to say that everyone loves devoting a day to showing their partner how much they love them and feel appreciated in return.
If you’re planning a date night with your significant other but can’t decide how to go about it, we would suggest you keep it traditional. There’s something about a lovingly home-cooked meal that’s incredibly heartwarming and romantic. There’s nothing that brings people closer than a delicious meal. A sensual, rich meal can set the right mood for some post-dinner steamy activities!
While you can make every course romantic, the dessert is what counts the most. There’s nothing like a decadent dessert to wrap up date night and make your sweetheart swoon. So, if you’re looking to whip up some love, keep reading below for the most sinfully delicious dessert recipes for two.
Cre caramel flan
Desserts can be complicated! Fortunately, this is not one of them. It’s a simple, uncomplicated, yet incredibly satisfying dessert – much like your relationship, we hope. With only five ingredients and not much prep time, the humble flan tastes divine! It is a creamy, luscious dessert that can take your date night to the next level. The only ingredients you need are eggs, condensed milk, milk, vanilla, and sugar.
First, you need to make your caramel by melting the sugar and coating your cake pan with it once it’s done. Then, get on with the custard. Just combine all your wet ingredients, and pour them into your cake pan. Cover the mixture with foil, and prepare to bake. The only complicated thing about making flan is the baking technique. Heat your oven to 175 degrees, and fill a larger baking tray with room temperature water. Then, place the cake pan with your flan in it, and bake for 1 hour, 15 minutes.

Negroni panna cotta
The panna cotta is a dessert famed for its indulgent, silky texture and mild, intriguing flavors. The best part about the panna cotta is that there are infinite variations. You can play around with different tastes. To take this classic Italian dessert a notch up, add some Negroni to make the flavors much more complex. The herby, citrusy flavor of the liquor can make this already sexy dessert all the more alluring.
To make the panna cotta, leave some gelatin to bloom while you mix the cream, sugar, and vanilla until the sugar dissolves. Then, take the mixture off the heat and add in a negroni, with a dash of orange zest. Strain the mixture, pour into ramekins, and leave to set overnight. On date night, invert the Panna cottas on your serving dish, and prepare to blow your lover’s taste buds away.
Chocolate covered strawberries
A list of sinful desserts incomplete without chocolate! Chocolate-covered strawberries are the classic romantic dessert and one that’s incredibly easy to make and devour. You can make chocolate-covered strawberries days ahead and with only a handful of ingredients.
First, chop up 4 ounces of chocolate. Dark chocolate can add a layer of complexity to this otherwise simple dessert. Then, melt the chocolate, and dip the strawberries in one by one. Leave them to chill on a pan lined with wax paper, and enjoy once they’ve set!
Chocolate-covered strawberries are the perfect dessert if you’re looking to amp up the romance. They’re effortlessly sensual, delicious, and you can have a fun time feeding them to your lover. The bright red, juicy strawberries are a quintessential symbol of love and the perfect way to wrap up date night. We suggest having them in bed without any clothes on!
Chocolate hazelnut and coffee affogato
Romance is all about pushing the boundaries and going all out. There’s no better way to do so than with this indulgent dessert. If your date is a coffee lover, a sensual, rich affogato is the best way to show how much you adore her or him.
Traditional affogato has a scoop of vanilla gelato drowned in a hot espresso shot. This affogato takes it one step further and combines two of the sexiest dessert flavors – coffee and cocoa.
To make the affogato, combine eight egg yolks and caster sugar and whisk until pale. Then, mix cocoa, glucose syrup, and cream until the glucose dissolves and pour over the egg mixture. Cook the egg mixture for ten minutes, chill overnight. Then, churn in an ice-cream maker, and freeze overnight. When it’s time to serve, add scoops of the affogato to serving glasses. Top with a shot of espresso and Frangelico for a warm, nutty taste. Whipping up this dessert can be quite a chore, but the effort and the post-consumption mood will be worth it once the rich, chocolatey dessert makes your evening all the more romantic.
