Rosenbloom believes that sometimes the perfect date night consists of steak and red wine, so she shared this recipe for a steak with creamy peppercorn sauce, which she said \"is absolutely delicious.\"

Sommelier and Food Network \"Master of Cue\" champion Erica Blaire Roby suggests pairing this Cognac cream sauce and steak dish with a French varietal from Bordeaux.
\"Carmenere’s peppery, yet velvet notes align nicely with the pepper-crusted steak, creating a harmonious blend of flavors,\" she said. Her second recommendation is a Pinotage from South Africa, \"known for its unique flavor profile of both earthy and fruity notes with a hint of smokiness\" which she said is \"also a great option.”
\"Desserts like my Ferrero Rocher Tiramisu or Strawberry Trifle can be prepared even the day before and stored in the fridge,\" she suggested of the two recipes below.
Ferrero Rocher Tiramisu

\"This dessert is not only easy to make but perfect for a date night,\" she said. \"Luscious mascarpone cream layered with espresso and rum-soaked lady fingers with bits of crushed hazelnut chocolate.\"
Makes 4 Servings
Ingredients
6 ounces heavy whipping cream
8 ounces mascarpone cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 Ferrero Rocher chocolates
1 package of ladyfingers
8 ounces strong, dark coffee
1 oz Amaretto liquor or dark rum
1 Tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
In a bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gradually fold in the mascarpone, sugar, salt, and vanilla into the cream until homogenous.
In a separate bowl, add the Amaretto liquor to the strongly brewed coffee.
Reserve 4 Ferrero Rochers for garnish, take the other 4, and chop into fine pieces.
Create an assembly line with the mascarpone cream, coffee mixture, chopped Ferrero Rochers, and ladyfingers.
Lightly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, layer into the glass with the mascarpone cream and Ferrero Rocher pieces.
Continue layering the dipped ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and Ferrero Rocher pieces until the glass is filled.
Garnish with cocoa powder and a whole Ferrero Rocher.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving and enjoy!
Strawberry Trifle
\"This is an easy date night dessert that comes together in less than 5 minutes. It is a simple vanilla pound cake layered with whipped cream, strawberry preserves and fresh strawberries,\" Rosenbloom said.

Single Serve Vanilla Cupcake
@bromabakery the SINGLE SERVE CUPCAKE you didnt know you need 🧁 full recipe: (makes 2 cupcakes bc honestly why not? also the ratios just work best this way 🤓) For the cupcakes: 1 tablespoon butter, room temp 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 egg white, room temp 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder pinch of salt 2 tablespoons milk For the frosting: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temp 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 teaspoons milk pinch of salt 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two muffin cups of a standard size muffin tin with cupcake liners. Set aside. 2. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the butter and vegetable oil with a whisk or fork until smooth and combined. If your butter is too cold, you can microwave the mixture for a few seconds to soften it up. 3. Add the sugar and mix until light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 1 minute. Add the egg white, milk, and vanilla extract and mix well. 4. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Use a small rubber spatula to fold the mixture together until no streaks of flour remain. 5. Pour the batter evenly into the two prepared muffin cups. Bake until the cupcakes have domed up, resist light pressure, and a butter knife inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes. 6. While the cupcakes cool, make the frosting. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until fluffy and combined. 7. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip (don’t feel like piping? You can also just spoon the frosting on top!). Pipe the frosting onto the two cupcakes. Top with sprinkles, if desired. #cupcake #vanillacupcake #singleservedessert ♬ original sound - Broma Bakery
