Single Serve Dessert Recipes For Valentines Day

Pro Tips For Single Serve Recipes:

1. Measure you ingredients, either with a weighing scale or tablespoons and tea spoons. These are measured spoons and not our dining cutlery. A little amount of ingredients are needed to make these small portion recipes and you need to accurately measure out your ingredients to ensure they are perfect once baked. 
2. Use your hands to remove any of the ingredients (like butter, peanut butter etc) from the spoons/cups when using them. This helps to maintain the quantity of the ingredient when baking. 
3. Always scrape bowls and spoons into your batter/dough. This will make sure you haven’t lost any of the batter in the bowl, giving you the perfect baked treat once done. 
4. Preheat your ovens, just because you are not baking a large dessert doesn’t mean you shouldn’t preheat the oven as this will help bake your cake/cookie in the right amount of time.
5. Do not over bake your recipes. Keep in mind you are baking small portions here which means they would bake faster as the quantity is less in a huge oven. I would always recommend under baking and checking the recipe if its done (a toothpick test for cakes) ahead of the desired time as ovens are different. 
6. When serving single serve recipes there are many options but for cakes you must let them cool completely before frosting and glazing etc. I like to put them in the fridge for 10 minutes or so until cold and then finish. As for cookies serve them as they are warm or you could serve them cooled down or with a scoop of ice cream to make ice cream sandwiches for one.
