“It’s a fact – I love to eat this on V day. I think shared meals, especially desserts, are great for special occasions and especially those that involve love and romance. This is easily one of the simplest recipes around, for one of the tastiest desserts, and all of the ingredients are available in your local stores. Cupid himself would be proud, I reckon!” Chef Brad Ball
