Valentines Dessert Recipes 

Someone once said “Food is the language of love”. Eating with your partner is not only an opportunity to spend time together, get to know each other better, and deepen your relationship; it’s also a way to give them a sweet and heartfelt DIY gift. But enjoying desserts together doesn’t have to trample all over your wellness goals, just like cooking without sugar doesn’t have to taste “sugar-free”. We're here to share cute, easy recipes that are not only delicious but also meant to bring you closer to your partner. Let's cook up some sugar-conscious magic for the moments that matter with these Pyure-infused creations! Enjoy every sweet bite.

Melted to perfection, this zero-fuss fondue is the ultimate sweet escapade.

Heart-shaped No-Sugar Sugar Cookies  

Baking with love just got more sugar-conscious! These Heart-shaped No-Sugar Sugar Cookies are a sweet delight. Made with Pyure Organic All-Purpose Stevia Blend, they're perfect for sharing heartfelt moments with your loved ones. You can’t get any cuter than this! 

Ingredients:  

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened  
• 1/4 cup Pyure Organic Granular Sweetener  
• 1 egg  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract  
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour  
• 1/2 tsp baking powder  
• 1/4 tsp salt  

Instructions:  

In a mixing bowl, beat together softened butter and Pyure Granular Sweetener until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg to the butter blend, beating until well blended. Introduce the vanilla extract and continue to beat until everything is well incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture in two parts. Mix until you have a cohesive dough. Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Once chilled, roll the dough on a lightly floured surface or between sheets of waxed paper until it's about 1/4-inch thick. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the hearts. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the cut-out cookies about 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn a lovely golden color. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking. Allow the cookies to cool on racks. Once cooled, savor these delicious Stevia Blend No-Sugar Cookies, perfect for a treat baked with love. ♥

Boozy Chocolate Souffle 

Oh my- we may have saved the best for last! This little cup of chocolate heaven is sure to impress your date this Valentine’s Day (or any day). This recipe is a zero-sugar take on the warm, melty delicious souffle we’ve all been dreaming of- with the same delicious chocolate sweetness, but none of the sugar… so you can bake with love! 

Ingredients: 

• Pyure Brown Sweetener and butter for ramekins 
• ½ cup heavy cream 
• 2 tablespoon Pyure Powdered Sweetener 
• ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum 
• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped 
• 2 tablespoon whiskey, dark rum, or sugar-free Kahlua (can also use water if you prefer) 
• 2 eggs room temperature, separated 
• 2 tablespoon Pyure Brown Sweetener  
• ⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar 
• Pinch salt 

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and generously butter two 8-ounce ramekins, dusting them with a sprinkle of Pyure Brown Sweetener. (For a lighter treat, you can opt for 4 smaller soufflés using 4 to 6-ounce ramekins, adjusting the baking time accordingly.) 
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, blend the cream and Pyure Powdered Sweetener until it just begins to boil. Remove it from heat and swiftly whisk in the xanthan gum. 
3. Introduce the chopped chocolate, allowing it to melt for a few minutes. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. Let it cool slightly before incorporating egg yolks and your preferred alcohol (or water). 
4. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy. Add Pyure Brown Sweetener and continue beating until the whites form stiff, glossy peaks. 
5. Gently fold about a third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Carefully fold this lightened mixture back into the remaining egg whites until just combined. 
6. Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins and bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Once out of the oven, you can either dust them with Pyure Powdered Sweetener or top them with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream. Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful treat!
