50+ of the best no-bake desserts – The perfect way to get your dessert fix in without turning on your oven. These easy no-bake desserts are ones you’ll reach for again and again.
I love good no-bake dessert recipes. I’ve created and collected so many over the years and it was pretty challenging to narrow it down to my favorites. Whether it’s fruit desserts, cakes, pies, candy and more, you’ll find tons of delicious desserts that are simple to put together and fun for the whole family to enjoy.
Because there is no oven involved, these no-bake desserts are great for kids to help make, as you don’t have to worry about burns. Plus, many of these are simple enough for a child to do on his or her own—with a little supervision from mom or dad of course.
This list of 50+ easy no-bake desserts is filled with cookies, pies, cakes and candy. There’s even an entire section of kid-friendly desserts that your little ones will love helping create.
A few of my absolute favorites are my strawberry icebox cake, easy banana pudding, and the best rice krispy treats ever. These are all go-to’s that have been raved about again and again.
Be sure to check out the entire list and let me know which one you’re going to try first!
