This bright red cheesecake is festive and tasty. Baked in a pressure cooker it features a chocolate cookie crust topped with red velvet filling.

Strawberry fool is a simple old fashioned dessert, made by infusing whipped cream with strawberries. It is like a strawberry shortcake without the cake!
This cherry layer cake is a made from scratch triple layer cake. The cherry flavor comes from maraschino cherries, which are chopped up in the cake batter while the cherry juice gives the cake a pretty pink color. It is gorgeous and bursting with cherry flavor.

This sheet cake is a throwback cake that combines white cake mix with jello for a tasty strawberry flavor. Most cakes which include jello are poke cakes, but in this cake the jello is mixed into the batter to make a pink strawberry cake batter.

I like to make (and eat) bite sized deeserts, because it lets me indulge without the guilt. These mini Mojito pies are a no-bake dessert which combines the lime and rum of Mojitos with raspberries and cream cheese. This dessert is perfect for making ahead of time and serving at parties.

The creamy mousse is layered with strawberry puree for and easy yet elegant dessert, perfect for your Valentine.
Valentine’s treats don’t have to be unhealthy! These Berry Bliss Balls are sweetened with dates and fruit, not sugar, and are flavored with nuts and spices. The pink color comes from freeze dried strawberries and dried cranberries for a quick pink bite sized snack that both kids and adults will enjoy.
No list of Valentine’s Day desserts would be complete without a heart shaped dessert! These heart shaped cookies are made special by cutting out the center and filling the cookie with crushed Jolly Rancher candy. The candy melts as the cookies bake, resulting in a pretty red heart with a stained glass center.
Heart shaped cut out cookies are a classic Valentine's Day dessert. Finished with pink and red icing and decorated with sprinkles they are fun to decorate and eat.
