Valentine’s Day is an excellent excuse for getting together, staying in, and enjoying a lovely meal just the two of you.
I recommend sending any kids there over to your babysitter, and cooking a nice meal for two, followed by a special Valentine’s Day dessert.
And if you ask me, one of the best desserts for Valentine’s Day is cheesecake, because it’s wonderfully creamy and indulgent, and sometimes you need a holiday as an excuse for a high calorie treat.
Besides, cheesecake will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. So, if you’re too full to finish the cheesecake on Valentine’s Day, you have several days to finish it.
I would argue that a surprise Valentine’s Day cheesecake dessert will produce a more appreciative response, and is sure to go down well with your date or other half.
I have found some really great Valentine’s Day cheesecake recipes on the internet, and now I want to share my favorites with you. So get those taste buds ready, because here we go!
