We’re one week away from the most romantic time of the year – Valentine’s Day!

What’s the best way to show someone you love them? By baking dessert for two, of course!

These romantic desserts are easy desserts for two you can make at home. Make them as Valentine’s Day desserts, anniversary desserts, or date night desserts.

It wasn’t easy narrowing down my list, but I gathered a variety of desserts for two recipes – chocolate, not chocolate, brownies, cakes, cheesecake, and more.

It’s easy to get caught up in the super rich chocolately desserts like my mini lava cakes or brownies for two, but you may not love chocolate as much as I do.

Or you’re in the mood for some fruit with raspberry crisp or chocolate strawberry shortcake.

Or your menu flows better with toasted coconut cake.

Whether you’re looking for ramekin dessert recipes or have mini cast iron skillets, there’s a variety of baking pans used below.

Serve your romantic desserts at the end of your romantic dinner for two at home.

What’s better than eating dessert? Making dessert ahead of time! Almost everything listed can be made at least 1-2 days ahead of time (with the exception of my mini baked Alaska).
