Celebrate Galentine’s Day with These Sweet Treats

February is the month of love, but romantic love isn’t the only kind that should be celebrated. Sharing red roses, heart-shaped gifts, and cheesy rom-coms with your person is great of course, but so is showing love to your girlfriends who have always been there for you. Galentine’s Day (aka Valentine’s Day eve) is the perfect time to do just that. On February 13th, gather your girlfriends—single or not—and celebrate your friendship.

 

Bond with Your Besties Over Brunch

If you’re looking for Galentine’s Day ideas, our suggestion is to keep it simple. Traditional G-Day celebrations include food (after all—food is love), so focus less on décor and more on what dishes to serve. Brunch is the perfect elevated, yet effortless, meal. For your entrée, we recommend making something simple like a frittata, and then preparing some delicious homemade desserts, like the ones we’ve selected below:

 

 

Chocolate Volcano

Your chocolate-loving friends will fall in lava with this decadent dessert. It’s cake on the outside, filled with delightfully gooey molten chocolate on the inside. And it’s super-easy to make with our XL Digital Air Fry Oven.

Chocolate Volcano

 

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs 
  • 4 yolks 
  • 1 cup of sugar 
  • 1 cup of chocolate in pieces 
  • 2 sticks of butter 
  • ½ cup of wheat flour 
  • Chocolate truffles
  • Pastry bag
  • Cake rings
  • Parchment paper

 

Instructions

  1. Grease and cover cake rings 3 inches high and 2 inches in diameter with parchment paper. Make sure that the paper around the rings is 2 inches taller than the rings.
  2. With a mixer, beat the eggs, yolks, and sugar at high speed, until you get the consistency of meringue. 
  3. Melt the chocolate in with the butter, then add the eggs and flour to the mixture and fold all the ingredients together. 
  4. Place the mixture in a pastry bag without a nozzle, and fill the molds up to the edges of the rings. The “volcano” will rise over the 2-inch space that was created with the parchment paper. 
  5. Place a chocolate truffle in the center of each cake ring.
  6. Bake in your XL Digital Air Fry Oven for 6 minutes at 400ºF.
  7. Remove and let cool slightly before enjoying!
