As much as I love baking, sometimes it’s nice to whip up a dessert that requires no oven time. You’ll speed up the dessert process and keep your kitchen cooler, too.
I confess that a few of these are what I call “low-bake” dessert recipes. I usually prefer to bake cookie crusts briefly just to make them a bit sturdier. But if you want to make those desserts truly no-bake, you can place the assembled crust in your refrigerator or freezer while you make the filling. It may be a bit more crumbly, but it will be so delightful and delicious that you likely won’t care.
Be sure to plan ahead for some of these, as they’ll require some refrigerator time before serving. Of course, that makes those recipes perfect candidates for make-ahead dessert options!
Enjoy! And happy (no-)baking!

We have made the cannoli icebox cake& it was a huge hit in our house!
Sweet heavens that’s a great list! I need to work on more no-bake recipes.
Oh, my goodness! What a wonderful selection of desserts you have laid at our table. How to choose which one to start with is the question. I want to let you in on a secret: my husband was told by his doctor that he’s “obese” but I don’t consider him that way. He is definitely overweight but nothing near “obese”. However, I do not make desserts for us unless we are going to have company or we’re going to have dinner at someone’s home and I’m asked to bring a dessert.  Now I have a whole batch of wonderful new ones to choose from. I know my granddaughter will enjoy helping me make some of these. Thank you ever so much. I bet my husband will really enjoy them but I’ll be sure to limit his portions.Â
