Single and sugared up: The ultimate indulgent desserts for self-love

Who needs roses when you have dark, silky, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate? This Valentine’s Day, forget the candlelit dinners for two — this night is all about you and the most indulgent, over-the-top, heart-melting treats imaginable.

Crank up your favourite feel-good playlist, slip into your attire (or go full-on glam, because why not?), and get ready for a love affair with the only one who’s never let you down — dessert.

Because whether you’re single by choice or still waiting for someone worthy, there’s one thing you do know: self-love tastes better with extra whipped cream.

Molten lava cake

This one looks tough on the outside but gooey inside? This single-serve delight oozes with warm chocolate, melting away any notion that love is best shared. Bonus? You don’t have to fight anyone for the last bite.

DIY ice cream sundae

Pile on scoops of your favourite flavours, drizzle them with caramel, drown them in hot fudge, and top it off with sprinkles, nuts or even potato chips. No rules. No judgments. Just bliss.

No-bake cheesecake in a jar

Crushed biscuits, silky cream cheese and a tangy berry topping come together in a jar that’s yours and yours alone. Grab a spoon, dim the lights and take it slow.

Chocolate dipped strawberries

Want something light and quick but still indulgent? Dip plump, juicy strawberries into melted dark chocolate and drizzle with white chocolate for a chic, elegant treat.
