Sugar!

Anybody want to give me your most wonderful recipe for a Valentine's day dessert?

Ideally one that doesn't make huge quantities, so that the three of us can eat it all on the day itself and not have leftovers sitting around tempting us later?

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)
