Okay.....my husband and I have decided to stay in for Valentines day because I was diagnosed with acid reflux and am having a hard time with a lot of foods.....mostly onions, garlic, cinnamon....spices in general.....so he is making the meat and potato or whatever he decides and I am making the salad and dessert. The salad will be the one someone posted with beet heart cutouts....I am having a hard time with the dessert. I don't want heart shaped cookies or cupcakes or cake but would like something heart shaped.....any ideas???

I have a recipe for a peppermint pie. It has a chocolate crust & you get to use up some of those leftover Christmas candy canes :haha: . You could always sprinkle some leftover candy canes on top in a heart shape or take two whole candy canes & place them in the shape of a heart on top. Let me know if you are interested & I will dig up the rcipe. I know not everyone likes peppermint (or pie :huh: ).

Baileys ice cream
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients:
2 c Double cream
1 c Full fat milk
1 c Castor sugar
1/2 c Baileys
Instructions:
Pinch salt Whisk all of this stuff together until all the sugar has been dissolved. Then freeze as you would normally freeze ice cream either in an ice cream maker or in a tub in the freezer whisking every half hour or so. Because of the alcohol content of this ice cream it will usually take around 12 hours to become hard. It does freeze hard so taking it out the freezer 10 minutes before serving is advised. It does melt quickly so you have to eat it fast. Don't put any more Baileys into the mix. 1/2 a cup may not seem much but the flavour comes through very strongly. I prefer this with a little Baileys poured over it. Make it and enjoy it.
