According to her Facebook post in 2014, Garten's ultimate dessert recommendation for Valentine's Day is profiteroles, a classic and decadent pastry.

This tasty dessert features cream puffs filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with warm chocolate sauce. Vanilla is the standard ice cream filling, but you can use any flavor.

Her secret ingredients for a deep, rich flavor are honey and fresh-brewed coffee. She likes to finish them off with a drizzle of her all-purpose chocolate sauce.
