Valentine’s Day is right around the corner!  You may be wondering what you can do that will make your sweetheart feel special. As they say, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Truth be told, the same goes for women. If you’re cooking or baking for your girlfriend or wife this Valentine’s Day, you’re sure to score some brownie points. Speaking of brownies, this Raspberry Brownie Parfait is sure to score some major brownie points and spark some romance.

If looking for something romantic and decadent to make for your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day, you can’t go wrong with this simple raspberry brownie parfait. Not only does it look romantic, but the flavors of raspberry and chocolate and the creamy texture of the mousse are going to speak to the heart of anyone you make this for. And, if you’re single, what better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than skipping dinner and going straight for dessert?

No Bake Valentine's Day Raspberry Brownie Parfait

What’s really wonderful about this recipe when it comes to preparation is that you can use store bought brownies to make things a bit easier. You can also make the raspberry mousse and whipped cream that morning and then assemble the parfaits just before dinner. If you choose to assemble the desserts earlier than that, wait to add the Conversation Hearts to the top to prevent them from becoming soggy. With that said, these really will hold up better if you assemble them as close to dessert time as possible.

Valentine's Raspberry Brownie Parfait

If for any reason you or your partner doesn’t like raspberries, no big deal. You can easily substitute strawberries. Technically, you could use any berry you wanted, but you want to stick with red berries for Valentine’s Day.

I hope you and your loved one enjoy this Raspberry Brownie Parfait and have a very happy Valentine’s Day!

    Wow, you could retitle Prince’s to “Raspberry Sorbet” like on the ’90’s tv show, “Muppets Tonight”! I love the addition of the Valentine’s candy hearts. The topping additions are amazing.
