25 Easy Valentine’s Day Recipes Loved by TikTok

Love is in the air...or maybe I smell garlic. While Valentine's Day celebrations may look a little different this year, they're no less delicious. If you need dinner date ideas, there are plenty of Valentine’s Day recipes to choose from on TikTok. Whether you're looking for something sweet, savory, or both, you'll find something on this list.

Food TikTok has been running the game ever since Dalgona coffee took over our early quarantine lives. Since then, there have been everything from enchilada burritos to mini pancake cereal to the recent TikTok four-course meal challenge. Couples are taking advantage of the four-course meal challenge to create mismatched drink, appetizer, main course and dessert menus. Each course begins with a round of rock, paper, scissors. Whoever wins gets to choose what/where they eat in the dish. It's perfect for hesitant diners or those who just want a change from their usual takeout habits.

Of course, you can create a complete four-course meal using the recipes and cocktail ideas on TikTok. So if you're thinking about ditching takeout, or you're just sick of takeout pizza, here are 25 Valentine's Day dinner and dessert recipes courtesy of TikTok.
