AIP Valentine’s Day Desserts: CAKES
AIP Chocolate Cake
I give you my word 😉 you really can’t go wrong with this AIP Chocolate Cake recipe. You might as well be eating real chocolate, because this cake is deliciously moist and chocolatey, but thanks to carob, it’s amazingly AIP.
Chocolate Caramel Mug Cake
Again, super good and moist chocolate cake, but Chocolate Caramel Mug Cake gets eaten with a spoon, and served in a mug with Easy Caramel Sauce on top! Super cozy and indulgent.
Strawberry Buttercream Cupcakes
This recipe is for Cinnamon Cupcakes topped with pretty pink AIP Strawberry Buttercream Frosting. These cupcakes turn out moist with a perfect crumb inside.
AIP Yellow Cake
I call this one AIP Birthday Cake, but it’s just a classic yellow cake, moist with a good crumb — and the recipe’s been newly updated. To dress it up for Valentine’s Day, choose AIP Chocolate Ganache Frosting or AIP Strawberry Buttercream Frosting, found here.
AIP Valentine’s Day Desserts: CONFECTIONS
Chocolate-Filled Strawberries or Raspberries
This recipe for AIP “Chocolate” Ganache actually provides TWO recipe options. I did that for people with food restrictions, so hopefully everyone can have a recipe that works well for their body. The first one is a classic ganache, made with coconut or palm oil as part of the base. The second one, find it in the Notes section just below the recipe: It’s made with avocado and banana as the base. BOTH taste amazing and both pipe beautifully inside of berries. This look is so festive and beautiful, and this is an easy special dessert to pull off.
I don’t go into details in this recipe about how to fill the berries because it’s very straightforward. Just fill a pastry bag with ganache, and pipe it in! 🙂 But if you have any questions, ask in the Comments section below, and I’m happy to help!
AIP Caramel Sauce
Dress up AIP ice creams (several listed below) with Easy Caramel Sauce — a very easy and very delicious AIP compliant rich caramelized sauce that makes any dessert special. SO delicious, you won’t even know this is AIP. If you need a fast dessert, you can make the ice cream ahead of time (or not), and then this one’s super fast.
Cranberry Heart Gummies
Made from whole fruit (it’s okay to use frozen), not juice, these red heart gummies are a healthy fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Paleo AIP “Peanut Butter” Truffles
Each truffle is such a treat, that they’re a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth. Paleo AIP “Peanut Butter” Truffles, made with tiger nut butter, are SO incredibly delicious and fun.
AIP Valentine’s Day Desserts: ICE CREAMS
Strawberry Blender Ice Cream
So pretty, easy to make and fun for all ages. You don’t need an ice cream maker for Strawberry Blender Ice Cream, but you do need an ice cube tray and to plan ahead by just a few hours. Then, this recipe comes together really fast.
Paleo Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
This is my dad’s all-time favorite flavor, so if someone you love loves it, too, what a special, “I love you” gesture on Valentine’s Day, to make them Mint Chocolate Chip homemade!
Classic Paleo Vanilla Ice Cream
The most popular recipe on my blog! This reliable treat can’t be beat. It’s fun to serve Paleo Vanilla Ice Cream with toppings of fresh strawberries or Strawberry Sauce!
Cinnamon Ice Cream
So special, you’ll wonder you’ve never had it before when you enjoy Paleo Cinnamon Ice Cream. SO good, lovely on pie but also just great by itself.

Another favorite, AIP Mixed Berry Cookies is a healthy take on cookies and studded with colorful juicy berries.

Made with zero added sweetener, these treats are healthy enough for a frequent treat but special enough to still be called “chocolate”. Another well-loved recipe by readers.

Perfect muffins can’t be beat. Here’s another faithful recipe, studded with that dark red tart fruit we all love, AIP Cranberry Muffins.
Blackberry Lemon Cream Pie
I’m not sure if this one fits the classic Valentine’s Day desserts as much as it’s a great recipe that everyone always loves. So if you just need a great recipe and happen to love blackberries and lemon, I’d steer you to this lovely treat.
Strawberry Coconut Lime Cream Pie
That classic strawberry recipe for Valentine’s Day, this one‘s so pretty, too.
AIP Valentine’s Day Desserts: CHOCOLATE OR PINK DRINKS
Hot Carob Drink Recipe
This hot frothy treat is the one I wake up thinking about, on many a cold winter morning. I highly recommend it! Easy and special, make Hot Carob Drink for yourself or someone you love, or both!

Raspberry Beet Kvass
Raspberry Beet Kvass will take a few days to ferment, but it’s utterly delicious and rewarding, kind of a sparkling mocktail. If you want to stay extra healthy for the holiday but feel festive, this treat is super elevated by the raspberries and so special. Not hard to make, just follow the instructions for the best lids to use, to ensure success.
Rosebud Hibiscus Tea
And, we’ll finish this round up with roses. Rosebud Hibiscus Tea is truly an incredible rich tea. It brews up dark and strong. If you choose to sweeten it, it’s even richer and stronger. I love how deeply soothing this hot drink it, and as I describe in the post, the herbs are actually wonderful for mood and providing a wonderful feeling of well being. What a sweet way to honor Valentine’s Day.
