Chocolate Season is in full swing. As you walk into any store, you will see the Valentine's Day isles of teddy bears, roses, and chocolates. Let's face it, chocolate is a part of the Valentine's Season. But there are those of us who aren't completely in love with chocolate, look for other options. I prefer something that is sweet but more fruity instead. During this season, I love to make a Spanish dessert called Babaroa that is perfect for Valentine's Day. This dessert is great for the entire family, even the kiddos!
Babaroa is a Chilean dish that has been made a regular in my family. It has a fluffy sweet texture with a pink bold color that catches your eye. It's a perfect dessert to make for your Valentine. Add a little whipped cream, sprinkles, or strawberries on top to make an elegant dessert. I make this dessert for everyone in the family, and make individual cups for everyone to enjoy. I make some romantic cupcakes for Hubby and I to enjoy, and I freeze some for my toddler to devour on hot Florida days. Babaroa is also great to eat during the summer! This recipe makes enough to last for a few days, so we use many different size containers so we don't waste any of this delicious treat. Now, you can make Babaroa with any flavor Jello but to get a pink color, you will need cherry or strawberry flavor.

Recipe makes 16 - 20 cupcake size desserts.
Tip: Babaroa is very sweet, but you can add up to 1/2 cup of cold water to the Jello to make it lighter and still keep the consistency.
As you can see, Babaroa has almost the same consistency as jello but with a softer touch. It's the perfect dessert to enjoy this Valentine's Day!
