Tippy's Coconut Frosting
At some point during our pre-teen years, the kids in my family decided we all needed dog names. My grandmother, whose real name was Beatrice, got "Tippy," and it became an endearment that endured. Tippy loved coconut, and she often used her longtime friend Ethel's unusual coconut frosting to turn a plain yellow sheet cake into a divine dessert, which was waiting for us on her kitchen counter when we'd drop by on our bikes. I'd forgotten about this recipe until I was scrounging through my Aunt Mariah's cookbooks and found my Aunt Judy's unbelievable collection "Fifty Years of Cooking: Recipes from the Files of Judith Lucinda Nunn Alley," a spiral bound treasure that I am in trouble for not returning in over a year. There are many variations on this recipe out there, but I have yet to find one that dares to use such an enormous amount of sugar, and that does not bother adding some whipped cream (Or CoolWhip, as the era of origin typically demanded) when employing this stuff as a cake topping rather than a filling.
Hazelnut Citrus Torte
A touch of quinoa flour gives this hazelnut torte an underlying smokiness that makes it more complex than most. It also makes it both gluten-free and kosher for Passover (make sure to select a quinoa flour that's listed as kosher for Passover). But if you can’t find quinoa flour, millet flour will work well, too, as would wheat flour (though of course it would no longer be gluten-free). With a supple, moist crumb, this torte will keep for several days, well-wrapped at room temperature, so feel free to make it ahead. Then serve it with a citrus sorbet or sweet citrus salad and a mound of whipped crème fraîche or mascarpone.

DOUBLE-DIPPED CHOCOLATE DATE HEARTS WITH PINK PEPPERCORNS & TOASTED WALNUTS
These four-bite hearts are a relatively healthy chocolate treat, especially when made with dark chocolate. Soaking the dates in hot water and double-dipping them in chocolate results in a smooth consistency that mimics that of a chocolate truffle. Pink peppercorns provide pleasant crunch (together with the interior toasted nuts), though the same beautiful color contrast can be achieved with crumbled freeze-dried raspberries for a sweeter note. These are enjoyable any day of the year, not just for Valentine's Day.
