If you are spending your Valentine’s Day at home, you must make it special by whipping some desserts for your partner.

To help with simple recipes to make this Valentine’s Day, here is a list of strawberry desserts that your partner is sure to love. So, get ready with some fresh strawberries to make something sweet for your ‘someone special’.
Strawberry Trifle
The aesthetic layered dessert, strawberry trifle, can be a hit on Valentine’s Day. To make this romantic day special for your partner, buy some fresh strawberries and get ready with your apron. You can simply make the trifle by layering a classic vanilla cake at the bottom. Then, add freshly prepared custard as the second layer and top it off with chopped pieces of strawberry. Add whipped cream on the top and garnish with chopped strawberries, and your Instragarammable dessert will be ready.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
One of the most popularly made desserts on Valentine’s Day is chocolate-covered strawberries. You can start by choosing plump and ripe strawberries. Next, simply melt dark and white chocolate chips in separate bowls. With a gentle hand, dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, coating it halfway in the dark chocolate and the other half in milk chocolate for a visually appealing contrast. After the chocolate is set, you can arrange the strawberries in a tray and enjoy them with someone special.
Strawberry Champagne Sorbet
When the theme is Valentine’s Day special desserts, you simply cannot leave champagne and strawberries out of the menu. To add a touch of class to the dessert menu, you can make a sorbet, but with an added twist of strawberries and champagne. To make a classy frozen and dairy-free dessert, you can start by blending strawberries. Once you get a smooth puree, you can mix in sugar, a glass of champagne, and a squeeze of lemon. Then, churn the mixture till it is fluffy and freeze the sorbet till it’s time to raise a toast to love.
Strawberry Tarts
If your partner loves binging on a fruity tart or pie, a freshly baked homemade strawberry tart is going to sweep them off their feet. With the crunch of the crust and the creamy filling topped with strawberries, the tarts are perfect for Valentine’s Day. All you need to do to make strawberry tarts is bake mini crusts and fill them with pastry cream. Next, top the tarts with chopped strawberries and add your favourite toppings. You can then refrigerate the strawberry tarts and serve them after a special meal.
Strawberry Bites
To whip up a quick strawberry dessert to enjoy without any guilt, you can make healthy strawberry bites. All you need to do is chop fresh strawberries and mix them with yoghurt. Once well-mixed, you can add some honey to make it sweeter. Then, transfer the mixture to an ice cube tray and freeze till set. After a couple of hours, you can take out the bites and serve with whole strawberries to see a smile on your health-conscious partner’s face.
