Day: February 14, 2022

It was a last-minute project.

My husband decided to see his mother today, and I wanted him to bring something for Valentine’s Day.

She loves lemony sweets just like her son, and I decided to make cookies with the left-over lemon curd (see the previous post).

I decided to go with thumbprint cookies, but to make them heart-shaped.

It was trickier than I thought.

But hey, it’s homemade, so they are not supposed to look perfectly shaped, right? 🙂

I also decided to fill a half with mint chocolate and decorated with pink icing and cacao nibs.

I hope my mother-in-law likes them.

I’m so excited to share this one!

“Dippin’ Donut” is something I came up with during our latest vacation in Hawaii.

The first version I made was cocoa -cinnamon-coconut cream-peanut butter, and it was delicious (I hope to re-create this again soon).

I was anxious to make another Dippin’ Donuts again, and I’m happy that I finally got to do so.

I had so many flavor combination ideas, but this was one of those on the top of my list.

My husband loves lemony sweets, and I thought making a dip with lemon curd would be a winner.

I used this recipe ↓ for vegan lemon curd.

It’s somewhat translucent first (↓）, but it thickens and less translucent（↑） the next day.

Coconut cream and lemon curd together are such a dream combination!

Now we have to talk about the donuts.

These are vegan, gluten-free, baked donuts, and the sweetness only comes from banana.

So it’s relatively healthy, I think. ; )

I added a little ginger to these.

Now this is the fun part!

Dip the donut in the lemon cream.

Scrumptious!

I made these for my husband, but we both enjoyed them.

He got me these beautiful roses!

Happy Valentine’s Day.
