Chocolate desserts for two
Homemade pudding cups
This is a delicious chocolate pudding topped with whipped cream and chocolate chips – though you could easily sub out the chocolate chips for toffee chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
I love how it’s served in these super cute mini mason jars.
Number of ingredients required: 9
Time to make: As well as the actual cooking and then assembling, this simple dessert takes three hours to set. If you’re making it as part of a romantic date night, make it first, then pop on a romantic movie or two, or go out for a stroll, and then come back to enjoy!
Dark chocolate and salted caramel cheesecakes bites
I love caramel. My husband loves chocolate.
So in our household these cheesecake bites, which combine both of our faves, are sure to be a winner!
Number of ingredients required: 8
Time to make: These take just 20 minutes which make them an awesome date night activity with not too long to wait to enjoy!
This recipe also makes 30 cheesecake bites so more than enough for even the hungriest of husbands!
Mini chocolate cherry cheesecakes
These mini chocolate cherry cheesecakes are just the thing if you and your spouse are a little, shall we say – challenged in the cooking department?
That’s because this simple cheesecake actually is more about heating / assembling than any actual cooking.
With five simple pre-made ingredients and some of those cute mini mason jars like we used with the pudding cups, you can have a tasty dessert for a romantic occasion in under an hour.
Number of ingredients required: 5
Time to make: 30 minutes to cook the loaf; approximately 15 minutes to assemble the cheesecakes.
Mini oreo cheesecakes
If you want a treat for the eyes as well as one for the tastebuds, then these mini-oreo cheesecakes are perfect.
That oreo crumb base makes me drool just looking at it!
It’s like a triple dip of oreos– in the base, in the filling and on the top!
These cheesecakes require some special equipment and a decent amount of time to prepare, so consider this the next level up from the previous recipe!
Number of ingredients required: 5
Time to make: By the time you bake this delicious treat, and let it cool to room temperature, you’re looking at a couple of hours – so again one to make in advance of date night or to do before dinner and a movie so that you can relax and enjoy it afterwards.
Dark chocolate skillet brownie
Would any romantic dessert for two be complete without brownie as an option?
This dark chocolate skillet brownie is simply delicious.
This recipe says it serves eight… or two massive servings, I say!
Number of ingredients required: 14. These are simple ingredients though, and two of these are ice cream!
Time to make: 45 minutes
Chocolate molten lava cakes
A light-as-air cake with a warm, chocolate flowing center – yes it’s a lava cake!
These desserts are perfect for a romantic date night in.
What’s more, they are super easy desserts to make.
Number of ingredients: 11
Time to make: 30 minutes plus 20 minutes cooling time
Heart shaped chocolate chip lava cookies
Continuing the lava theme…

Eat them warm topped with vanilla ice cream – yummy!

Easy classic dessert recipes for two
The ultimate cheat’s banoffee pie
Banoffee pie is a classic dish. But in case you are intimidated by the name, I can assure you, you don’t need to be, because this version of banoffee pie is ridiculously simple.
With caramel and bananas, it’s a perfect contrast to the chocolate deliciousness above, although there IS chocolate sprinkled on the top if you just can’t resist!
In addition, it’s super simplicity, with minimal ingredients and quick time to make, make it right up there on the choices for an easy date night activity.
Number of ingredients required: 8
Time to make: 25 minutes
Easy tiramisu for two
For years I harbored resentment against the tiramisu after an early encounter with my ex mother in law.
She mentioned we would have tiramisu for dessert and I naively asked what this strange concoction was.
She replied with a haunty, “Everybody knows what tiramisu is.”
Well clearly I didn’t or I would have asked.
That kind of set of tone for our whole relationship.
I eventually overcame my dislike of tiramisu by proxy and I can recommend this simple take on the dish.
Raspberry creme brulee for two
However unlike tiramisu, creme brulee has always been a personal top choice – more than that really, as it is my favorite dessert.
In fact, I just tested my husband by asking him what my fave was and luckily he was able to answer correctly.
This creme brulee has the addition of raspberries which just makes it even more delicious.
