Tiramisu

Genoise sponge:
3 1/2 ounces (110 grams) caster sugar
4 eggs
1 3/4 ounces (50 grams) melted butter
3 ounces (85 grams) plain flour
1-ounce (30 grams) good-quality cocoa powder
Filling:
1 pound 1-ounce (500 grams) mascarpone
2 1/2 ounces (70 grams) caster sugar
2 egg yolks*
3.5 fluid ounces (100 milliliters) Vin Santo
4 to 5 shots espresso coffee
Tia Maria liqueur
3 1/2 ounces (110 grams) good-quality white chocolate, melted
Cocoa powder, for dusting
1 bar good-quality dark chocolate, for shavings

First make the sponge. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C /gas 4).

Whisk the sugar and eggs until they are at ribbon stage. Fold in the melted butter, then fold in the sifted flour and cocoa. Pour the mixture into a lined Swiss roll tin and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the sponge from the oven when it is done and leave to cool.

To make the filling, put the mascarpone, sugar, egg yolks, and Vin Santo into a bowl and mix until smooth.

To assemble the tiramisu, break up the sponge and press it into the bottom of a shallow dish. Drizzle over the coffee, Tia Maria, and white chocolate. Spoon over the mascarpone filling, then dust liberally with cocoa. Using a large knife, scrape the chocolate towards you to make shavings and arrange these delicately over the top.

Toll House Chocolate Chip cookies. Follow the recipe on the bag.

No-bake cheesecake:

1 graham crust.
1 jar (13 oz) Nutella
2 bricks of softened cream cheese.

Combine nutella with cream cheese with a mixer...pour into crust and chill.

Strawberries dipped in white or milk chocolate...with champagne.

Oreos dipped in chocolate.

You could also do a fruit fondue. Arrange on a platter: bowls of prepared ice cream toppings in different flavors: chocolate, caramel, etc. Surround it with chunks of apple, banana, store bought pound cake in cubes, strawberries, pineapple...and eat it with toothpicks.

These are all really easy. I'm not making assumptions about your skill but if you aren't a whiz, you can manage, and if you are talented in the kitchen you can get out fast and make time for your lady.

Recipe for Chocolate Truffles

2 cups almonds or pecans, toasted and ground fine
1-14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
dash of salt
1 tbsp. flavored liqueur (optional)
cocoa, shredded coconut, finely chopped nuts

Cut the chocolate into small pieces, place in a medium sized pan over low heat stirring constantly until the chocolate melts. Do not let the chocolate burn. Stir in the toasted ground almonds or pecans, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, flavored liqueur and salt into the chocolate mixture and blend well. Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat and cool approximately 5 minutes.

Take small amounts of the chocolate mixture the size of walnuts and roll into balls. Dip the chocolate truffle balls into cocoa, shredded coconut or finely chopped walnuts, according to your preference. Place the chocolate truffles on a cookie sheet and refrigerate until set. They are very easy to make and delicious.

2 (1.4 ounce) bars chocolate covered English toffee, chopped

Beat sugar, chocolate syrup, and cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add whipping cream; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Spread over cake. Sprinkle with chocolate-covered toffee candy.

There is a cook book called "365 recipes/ a different dish for everyday! DESSERTS" it has a ton of beautiful and delish desserts. I personally would make the Rich Chocolate cake with Cherries or you can use raspberries too. Most women LOOOOVE chacolate, and cherries and raspberries go especially good together. I hope you have a romantic night!

Fresh Strawberries dipped in melted chocolate. Think of what you two could with any leftover chocolate!

Dip fruit in chocolate. It is quick, easy, and romantic. Besides, you can eat it with your fingers and lick the chocolate from hers.
