Valentine’s Day is my favorite and least favorite holiday all rolled into one. I have the biggestsweet tooth of anyone I know, so a holiday that promotes endless chocolate is my kind of holiday. However, a holiday that promotes cute “coupley” activities is not my type of holiday. As a single college student the last thing I need is to feel lonely on Valentines Day. For all my sweet tooth singles out there, here are six single serve desserts to make you feel less lonely this Valentine’s Day.
1. Oreo Mug Cake
Chocolate Donut Nutella Coffee Ice Cream Sandwich
If you're out and about this V-Day stop by your supermarket and pick up a donut, Nutella, and a pint of Ben & Jerry's. This dessert is SUPER easy, just cut the donut in half, schmear the Nutella onto the donut, and add ice cream. If you're not into coffee ice cream I recommend trying Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Toffee Bar Crunch or Milk and Cookies.
3. Brownie Batter Breakfast Bake
Brownies for breakfast? If you're vegan, gluten-free, or just trying to eat clean this breakfast bake is a great way to get your chocolate fix without all the added sugar and calories.
4. Chocolate Caramel Lava Cakes
If you're up for a bit of a challenge this dessert is definitely worth making. Fair warning: this recipe yields four servings so roundup a couple of friends (or don't I'm not judging).
5. Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
Chocolate chip cookies are a classic which makes this chocolate chip skillet cookie for one an über classic. Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream when it's fresh out of the oven for the most "aesthetically pleasing" Instagram photo.
6. Pint of Ice Cream
If you're pressed for time or just lazy, a simple pint of ice cream will do the job. Grab your favorite pint and cozy into bed with Netflix and I promise you won't be disappointed.
And remember, just because you're single doesn't mean you can't treat yourself on Valentine's Day, or any day for that matter.
