Definitely individual meringues/pavlovas. Amazingly delicious, fat-free aside from the filling, and fairly quick and easy.
Follow this recipe (http://eponis.livejournal.com/329246.html) any time in the next couple of days. Spread the meringue to make individual little bowls -- put a large blob on the sheet, then flatten it into a slightly concave disc, about an inch thick. (For extra-special-romance-points, make them heart-shaped. :-) ) If you want to make traditional pavlovas, don't cook the meringue all the way through, so it's still soft inside -- but I personally like them cooked crisp.
Then, get some real whipped cream (or make it!) and fill each pavlova with a large dollop of whipped cream. Top with sliced strawberries, or some similarly romantic fruit. So incredibly good. (http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/dessert/berrypavlovas.html)
