Valentine’s Day is all about indulging and spoiling yourself. And chocolate makes the whole day happier. Especially when it comes to dessert.
But it doesn’t all have to be about chocolate. And it doesn’t need to be sinful.
Here are 5 healthier dessert recipe ideas to spoil yourself and your loves.
Lavender Rose Baked Vegan Donuts from Healthy Slow Cooking
From the chef at Healthy Slow Cooking: “These Lavender Rose Baked Vegan Donuts are the perfect Valentine’s breakfast, afternoon snack, or even a cute dessert. The best part is, you won’t feel deprived at all even though you’re eating healthy baked donuts!”
Vegan Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Mousse from Oh My Veggies
From the chef Oh My Veggies: “Made with tofu, this Vegan Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Mousse does not taste like tofu at all, you can trust that I’m telling the truth. It has the flavor of dark chocolate with a hint of tartness from the pomegranate juice, but tofu? Nope, no tofu!”
Pomegranate Mendiants (French Candy) from Taste Love and Nourish
From the chef Taste Love and Nourish: “These red jeweled chocolates make a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day. Mendiants are a French candy traditionally made up of chocolate disks studded with dried fruits and nuts. Their colors represented the different robes of the monastic orders of the church. This version is simple, with just pomegranate and chocolate!
Gluten Free Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Mousse Frosting from Nutrition Stripped
From the chef Nutrition Stripped: “A healthy, paleo chocolate cake and frosting; it exists. You can have your cake and eat it too. This Gluten Free Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Mousse Frosting is low calorie, low carbohydrate, high fiber, and high protein. Coconut flour is the star ingredient that allows all this goodness to happen. Then… Chocolate. Mousse. Frosting. Three words that individually stand their own ground, but when put the two together you get a total flavor party in your mouth!”
