Valentine’s Day is quickly coming up! These decadent Allergy Friendly Valentine’s Desserts are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Allergy Friendly Valentine’s Desserts
We all love to shower our spouses with romantic desserts or surprise our kids with special treats on Valentine’s Day. But sometimes it can be difficult when faced with food allergies and special diets. When I plan a V-Day dessert for my husband, I think of rich chocolate, fresh berries, and creamy textures, but I’m limited by the dairy and the wheat that is common in so many popular recipes. Thankfully, we don’t have to go without completely, because there are lots of allergy-friendly dessert recipes available. The best part is that these allergy safe desserts taste absolutely amazing. There is no sacrifice in flavor.
Since this is my first holiday with some pretty impressive food allergies, I’ve been scouring the web for the best ideas. I figured that if I needed some ideas and was compiling a list for my own family, I might as well share the list for 50 Allergy Friendly Valentine’s Desserts with all of y’all. Of course, even if you don’t need an allergy friendly recipe, I bet you have a friend or a family member that would be over-the-moon excited if you made them one of these lovely treats.
I’ve broken down these treats into categories for ease, but please make sure you read through all of the ingredients carefully, substitute what you need to, and have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Thank you so much for including me in this amazing list Wendy!
You’re Welcome Alisa! I love this list….so many great treats!
With SOY and PEANUTS in most of these recipes, I don’t know why you would title this list ‘Allergy-Friendly’….it is very misleading. Gluten intolerance and celiac disease are NOT an ALLERGY so hopefully you’re not confusing it as such. I am severely allergic to nuts and soy so I was very disappointed to get all excited about this post for nothing.
Sorry that you were disappointed in this list Maya. While I agree that gluten intolerance and celiac are not an allergy…I am deathly allergic to dairy, wheat, and eggs….which was what this list included. Allergies just plain suck and there is never a way to include them in all in something like this.
AWESOME!! Thanks for posting this – trying to more gluten free desserts so not going to just wait for Valentine’s Day!
Glad this list will be helpful Belinda. 🙂
Some of these desserts look so scrumptious, I couldn’t possibly wait until Valentine’s Day to try them. But then, as Kirsten wrote, this compilation also serves as inspiration for different occasions. Donna’s water-based chocolate mousse is particularly interesting and the first I’m going to make. Thank you for including the no-churn ice cream:)
Thanks Adriana! I can’t wait to to the no-churn ice cream too!
I’ve bookmarked this for ideas–thank you. Not just for Valentine’s day–I think this is a great resource! With a little tweaking, swapping other shapes for hearts or other colors for pink/red, this compilation works for desserts for a wide variety of occasions.
Thanks!
You’re Welcome! :). I agree…this a great list and starting point for treats for lots of holidays!
Had to pin it right away so I can find it easy next month. Thanks <3
Thanks Kendra!
