Indulge Your Valentine

By Terese Allen, Organic Valley Food Editor

To show your affection during the holiday of love, give a gift that’s sweet and handmade. This month’s recipe lineup features a little something for everyone: pie lovers, cheesecake aficionados, cookie hounds, and, of course, chocolate fanatics.

Easy Decadent Chocolate Truffles
“Truffles make a wonderful gift because nothing says ‘I love you’ better than chocolate,” says Debby Fortune of Berkeley, California, the creator of this luscious recipe.

Alpha Delights Ricotta Cheesecake
Cheesecake made with ricotta and honey is neither as sugary-sweet, nor as unrelentingly smooth as most types, making it more “adult-friendly” than many specialty desserts.

Cinnamon Hazelnut Cookies
These charming, hazelnut-studded cookies are inspired by a buttery Middle Eastern pastry called ghorayebah.

Organic Valley Apple Cherry Sweetie Pie
A simply romantic delight for your Valentine, or for any special occasion.
