30 Easy No-Bake Desserts for When You're Craving Something Sweet
Cookies, cheesecakes—there's even a sky-high trifle!
Danielle Daly
For even the most seasoned bakers, there comes a time when you simply can't imagine putting in the effort to prepare an elaborate dessert (although you can try our most popular cookies and cakes if you're up for a project!). Enter: the no-bake dessert.
"I'm all about no-bake recipes these days," Ree Drummond says. And who isn't? These quick treats often rely on a few key ingredients you already have in your pantry or fridge, like fruit, peanut butter, ice cream, puffed rice cereal, and cocoa powder. (Case in point: take a look at Ree's dreamy icebox cake that was a TikTok sensation!) She knows that time is of the essence, too. "Have you ever had such a wicked craving for chocolate cake that you'll simply die if you don't get a piece within five minutes?" she's said of her favorite chocolate mug cake recipe, which is made in the microwave. Relatable.
Easy no-bake desserts are great for any occasion, whether you're looking for a Christmas treat like our reindeer pops or a Fourth of July dessert like our berry beautiful trifle recipe—or just when you want to whip up something sweet in a pinch! Here, you'll find Ree's beloved mug cakes as well as no-bake dessert bars, pie recipes, popsicles, truffles, and more. Any of them would make the perfect finale to your family meal.

Lemon Cheesecake
"There's something about the addition of lemon—both the zest and the juice—that just adds a nice citrusy freshness," Ree says. And we couldn't agree more! Our cheesecake is smooth, refreshing, and ready to serve in just 20 minutes.
