You’ll be the star of the show this Valentine’s if you make this really simple yet impressive strawberry gelato! If you are super busy and work full time then this recipe is great for you.
A lot of people go out for food on Valentine’s Day, Dean and I have nearly been together 5 years now and we have never been out for a meal on that day!
Being real foodies we like to make a night of it and cook, Dean normally does the starter, then we share the main course and I do the pudding. This year we haven’t actually got any plans unless he surprises me! We have been very busy the last few weeks and it’s kind of slipped our minds but I’m sure we will cook something really yummy and have a lovely evening.
At least we have a big tub of Strawberry gelato in the freezer if all else fails 😂.
After the way our Christmas gelato was received I thought this would go down a storm for Valentine’s. It’s great for getting romantic – put a load of scoops in one bowl with two spoons 😉. If you don’t get to eat it all on Valentine’s the good news is that the gelato will last a long time in the freezer.
This will really dazzle your loved one when you say it’s homemade. It’s that simple you can really big it up how much time and effort you put in, they will really be impressed.
Do you go out on Valentine’s or stay home and cook? Let me know in the comments!
