Valentine's Day desserts
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 2:13 PM
When we asked our Lust Listers what foods they associate with feeling sexy, most listed chocolate, champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and whipped cream. Typical!
With Valentine's Day around the corner, here are a few recipes for V-day desserts that are a little less cliche:
Too cute Red Velvet Cupcakes. You get festive holiday colors and just a tad of chocolate from the cocoa in the recipe.
Mangoes and cream ice cream. Sensual and exotic mangoes and lush cream come together for this indulgent dessert.
Conversation heart sugar cookies. Personalize cookies with your own cute Valentine messages.
