Some Valentine food/drinks suggestions which also work for non Valentine days

Valentine Smoothie Recipe

My kids got a kick out of these. I made them for 2 servings

10 min 10 min prep

1 cup vanilla yogurt
1 ripe banana, peeled, frozen, and sliced
2 tablespoons strawberry jam
1 tablespoon honey
3-4 drops red food coloring

In a blender container, add yogurt, banana, jam, honey, and food coloring.

Cover and blend on high until smooth and foamy.

Pour into glasses and serve immediately.



Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse for Your Valentine

4 servings

43 min 3 min prep

4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup heavy cream

In a double boiler, whisk together the yolks, sugar and salt until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm. This takes 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and quickly whisk in the chocolate.

Whisk until the chocolate melts completely and you have a yummy thick mixture before you.

Allow it to cool to room temperature.

In a medium bowl over lots of ice, whip chilled cream until soft peaks form.

Whisk half of this mixture into the chocolate mixture. Then use a rubber spatula and gently fold in the remaining cream.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and upto 24 hours.

Thaw 15 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
