When planning a romantic dinner at home, you will need to plan everything from the décor to the meal itself. This means that you need to decorate the table with a romantic centrepiece, some dim lighting, and serve just the right starter, main course, and dessert. In fact, it’s the dessert that will set the tone for the rest of the evening. So, here are some romantic dessert ideas for you to consider:
 

  • Single portion size chocolate melting cakes are warm and delicious. You can top them off with some caramel sauce and even some ice cream if you like. There’s something about the hot and cold combination that makes for an amazing flavour adventure!
  • Infuse whipped cream with raspberries, serve in a regular dessert bowl and top off with fresh berries and a cookie or two.
  • Orange Souffles are light and airy. They are perfect for those who love citrus flavours.
  • A chocolate fondue is perfectly romantic and seductive. You can use one main chocolate pot and share or you can set individual chocolate fondue sets on each of your place settings. Serve with fresh fruit, marshmallows, biscuits, and anything else you might like to dip in chocolate.
  • Heart-shaped brownies can be served warm or at room temperature. You can also top off with ice cream if you like.
  • There’s also something strawberries, chocolate and whipped cream that scream romance. Chocolate dipped strawberries topped with whipped cream or even ice cream can be just what you need after a fulfilling meal.
  • Don’t forget about truffles! They come in various flavours so you can make several different varieties or stick with the plain chocolate flavour.
  • Tiramisu is a huge hit with many dessert lovers. It has the perfect combination of vanilla, rum and just the right texture too.
  • Dulce de Leche is a popular dessert in various countries – particularly Argentina. This sweet caramel dish can be enjoyed as is or you can whip it up with heavy cream for a lighter, fluffier variation.
  • If you’re more inclined to fruit, there are many different options. From a delicious fruit salad to stewed fruits served with warm vanilla custard – your options are just about endless!
  • Profiteroles are also delicious treats to enjoy after a meal. You can serve them all on their own or you can place them on top of a bowl of ice cream if you prefer.
