Paleo Valentine’s Desserts: CAKES

Paleo or AIP Chocolate Caramel Mug Cakes

Decadent and inviting, use a spoon, and then choose between: This Paleo recipe made with real cocoa, which uses almond flour, this one with coconut flour, or this nut and egg-free version, made with carob. All three versions are excellent. Plus, it’s easy to make this recipe for just two to four people.

Primal: Cream Cheese Filled Chocolate Cake

Make Cream Cheese Filled Chocolate Cake in the oven or in the Instant Pot. You’ll LOVE this moist chocolate cake and the filling. Only downside: It’s dairy, so for Primal, but not strict Paleo.

Chocolate-Peppermint Cupcakes with Pink Swirl Frosting

This moist cake is perfection! You’ll love these pretty Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes with the best texture and pretty but easy optional swirl frosting.

Chocolate Cake

Paleo and AIP, this cake is deliciously moist and chocolatey, but thanks to carob, it’s amazingly AIP. Most people truly will not be able to tell the difference.

Strawberry Buttercream Cupcakes

This recipe includes Cinnamon Cupcakes topped with lovely pink AIP Strawberry Buttercream Frosting. These egg-free cupcakes turn out moist with the perfect crumb inside.

Paleo & AIP Yellow Cake (egg-free)

This recipe is actually titled AIP Birthday Cake, but it’s a classic Paleo yellow cake, moist with an incredible crumb — and the recipe’s been newly updated. To dress it up for Valentine’s Day, choose Real Paleo Chocolate Ganache Frosting, AIP Chocolate Ganache Frosting or AIP Strawberry Buttercream Frosting, found here.

Primal option: Frost with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting, and garnish with strawberries or raspberries.

Dairy-free Fermented Cheesecake

This berry-topped creamy Paleo Cheesecake recipe is really fun to make! See the before and after photos of the fermentation process. If you love trying new things, the outcome of this recipe, and the process, is fabulous. My daughter asks for this recipe every year on her birthday, and I love making it for her.

Valentine’s Day Desserts: COOKIES and BROWNIES

Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe is reliable and so good! If you’re looking for that classic Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie, you’ll be so happy with these cookies.

Double Chocolate Coconut Butter Cookies

Another favorite, Paleo AIP Mixed Berry Cookies is a healthy cookie recipe, studded with bright colorful berries.

Paleo Chocolate Chaffles

Chocolate Chaffles have the most wonderful waffle-pastry texture and a heightened cocoa flavor. (They can also be made with carob.) Love these with ice cream, chocolate sauce and red berries on the top! (Note: While most chaffles are made with dairy, this recipe is happily dairy-free!)

Primal: Chocolate Croissant Chaffles

Chocolate Croissant Chaffles are a surprisingly easy recipe for an outcome that tastes like an American version of that well-loved French pastry. Really yummy and lovely.

Strawberry Cream Pie is my favorite pie of all time. Loved ones and guests will swoon at the flavors and textures of this American classic.

Paleo Valentine’s Day Desserts: CONFECTIONS

Homemade Chocolate

Make homemade chocolate bars or other shapes, with cocoa butter. It’s really easy, fun, rewarding — and it tastes better than any store bought chocolate.

Chocolate-Filled Strawberries or Raspberries

Choose real Paleo Chocolate Ganache for an incredibly rich and satisfying chocolate experience. Or choose this recipe for AIP “Chocolate” Ganache, which is fabulous but made with carob. These recipes are like what you find inside of a chocolate truffle, but even better, so they’re lovely piped inside berries. Just fill a pastry bag with ganache, and pipe it in!

Garnish Paleo ice creams (several shared below) with Easy Caramel Sauce. This recipe is incredibly easy to make and so delicious!

Primal: Stabilized Whipped Cream

Great on top of any pie or cake, this whipped cream won’t wilt before you serve. Good for piping, spreading and more.

Dairy-free Vanilla Custard

Perhaps this was my favorite dessert recipe for years when we first started a Paleo diet. It’s VERY delicious and satisfying, and perfect to serve with cakes, muffins and more.

Cranberry Heart Gummies

Made from whole fruit instead of juice, these red heart gummies are a healthy fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with kids or grown-ups.
