Skip the silk boxer shorts and lingerie! This Valentine’s Day Kiss is silky-smooth and will warm your up in places… Well, it’s a lot of fun too, especially if you’re home alone and want in on a little Valentine’s Day action on your own.

Valentine’s Day is the most romantic day of the year. Many couples celebrate with chocolates and long-stemmed red roses, and a romantic dinner for two. This drink is a perfect finish after a slice of rich, chocolate cake dessert. There are beautiful hints of chocolate, raspberry and cream.

However you celebrate, have fun and let your passion on!

• 2 oz Tequila
• 1 oz Crème de Cacao
• ½ oz Chambord
• 1 oz Cream

Fill a cocktail shaker half full of ice. Pour in all of the ingredients and shake for 15-20 seconds. Pour into a chilled cocoa-sugar rimmed martini glass. Garnish with fresh raspberries.

Just in time for Easter! Why spend all that time whipping together a fresh-baked lemon meringue pie? Skip the dessert and head right for the drinking by shaking up one of these delicious martinis!

• 1 oz Lemoncello
• 1 oz Galliano
• 2 oz Pineapple Juice
• Egg White

Add all ingredients to a martini shaker half filled with ice. Shake well. Pour into a martini glass. Garnish with lemon wedge.

Satisfying a sweet tooth in Yaletown is no easy… but imaging sinking your teeth into chocolate bread pudding, served hot with a chocolate toffee crumble on top. The mix of crunch and hearty soft bread, melded together with a creamy chocolate sauce and Bailey’s crème anglaise is spectacular.

Now, stop imaging and get back to reality. This special dessert treat is served daily at Glowbal Grill in Yaletown. At just $8.95, it’s a great way to end an evening walk along the seawall, share on a romantic date, or reward yourself after a hot yoga class.

About three years ago I found this most amazing dessert from Kraft; Molten Dark Chocolate Lava Cakes. It was just over a year ago that I made the recipe for the first time, and wow, it’s now one of my favorite desserts to make. It’s very simple and can be whipped up in the matter of minutes. Best of all, you can make it in advance and store it in the fridge, then bake and serve whenever you want! As a single guy, I love it because I can have fresh, hot dessert any night of the week I want.

Ingredients:

• 4 squares Bakers cacao dark chocolate
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup icing sugar
• 2 whole eggs
• 2 egg yokes
• 6 tbsp flour
• 1 tsp icing sugar

Preheat over to 425′f. Butter four 3/4 cup custard cups or souffle dishes. Place on baking sheet.

Microwave choclate and butter in a large microwaveable bowl on high for 1 minute, or until the butter is melted. Stir with wire whisk until choclate is completely melted. Add 1 cup sugar; mix well. Blend in whole eggs and egg yolks. Stir in flour. Pour into prepared custard cups.

Bake for 13-  14 minutes or until sides are firm but centres are still soft. Let stand 1 minute. Carefully run small knife around edges of cakes to loosen. Invert cakes onto dessert plates. Spinkle evenly with 1 tsp sugar. Cut in half. Serve warm.

Again, you can make the batter ahead of time. Pour into prepared custard cups; cover with plastic wrap. Refridgerate up to 24 hours. When ready-to-serve, uncover and bake as directed.

This single serving dessert will let you indulge and the molten chocolate will hit the spot.
