Valentine’s Day desserts you can make at home

Whether you are celebrating Valentine’s Day alone, with friends or with a loved one, this is the perfect time to indulge in sweet treats.

Instead of buying expensive desserts from the hotel or supermarket, why not whip up something homemade?

Here are seven delicious, easy-to-make dessert ideas that will make your day special.

Chocolate-dipped mandazi

Mandazi is a simple snack that you can transform into a tastier dessert with just one simple ingredient, chocolate.

Melt your dark or milk chocolate in a bowl or sufuria, then dip half of each mandazi in, then set aside to cool.

You can sprinkle with desiccated coconut or crushed nuts for extra flavour.

Passionfruit and honey pancakes

Pancakes, which are breakfast favourites, can be a fantastic dessert. All you need is to make your pancakes and then drizzle them with passion fruit pulp and honey.

The tangy passion fruit balances the sweetness of the honey, making it refreshing and light, a perfect dessert.

Mango and yoghurt parfait

If you want a healthier yet indulgent treat, add a thick plain yoghurt in a small bowl. Layer in your ripe mango slices and some nuts or granola.

You can add a drizzle of honey or sweetener for that extra yumminess.

Sticky date and toffee pudding

Making toffee is very easy; all you need is butter, brown sugar, and cream.
