Best No-Bake Desserts That Even A Child Can Make
You can make most of these easy desserts in about 5-10 minutes.
1. Five Ingredient No-Bake Cheesecake
Since coming up with this no-bake cheesecake recipe a few years ago, now I never bake cheesecakes. Why spend time, electricity and eggs on a dessert that can be easily made with cream cheese, graham crackers, maple syrup and vanilla in the fridge? SO easy, so creamy, this cheesecake recipe is the perfect dessert!
2. Three Ingredient Healthy Ice Cream
Ice cream made in a blender: this is probably the healthiest version of soft-serve strawberry ice cream that you can make with just 3 simple ingredients: strawberries, banana and milk.
3. No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies
Maybe it’s just me, but these no bake peanut butter cookies are so much better than baked peanut butter cookies. They’re super easy to make – all you need to do is mix ingredients, make balls and flatten them with a fork. Leave in the fridge for about an hour and your peanut butter cookies are done! They taste so unbelievably good!
4. Easy Yogurt Bark
Yogurt, shredded coconut, fresh fruit and honey or maple syrup are some of the ingredients for this no-bake freezer dessert. It’s super tasty, refreshing and just perfect for hot weather.
5. Fifteen Minute Healthy Pear Crumble
Apple crumble, but with pears and made on the stove. This delicious healthy recipe for pear crumble is simple, sweet and great for dessert or even breakfast! Made without baking, the recipe is ready in about 10-15 minutes.
6. Healthy Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie Bowl
I know, the word smoothie isn’t something that comes to mind when you think of no-bake desserts. It’s more like a “no thanks dessert”. However, this one is truly so SO amazing. It’s plant-based and made with frozen strawberries, orange juice and cashews. Even if you’re not on a health kick, you need to try this one – it’s ridiculously easy too!
7. No-Bake Chocolate Rice Cake Bars
I used to always buy these rice cakes made out of brown rice, because I thought they were healthier. After a while, I realized I never actually ate them. The reason was, and I’m sorry if you love your rice cakes, but to me, they tasted like paper.
So, one day, after I discovered another package of rice cakes, I decided to break them into pieces, mix them with nut butter and chocolate, spread them out in a pan and refrigerate! They turned into the best chocolate snack ever! Great texture, rich and sweet these bars are one of my favorite easy reicpes now.
8. No-Bake Mini Cheesecakes
These healthy no bake mini cheesecakes are a bit different, but super good! The filling is made with cottage cheese, honey and vanilla. And for the crust you will combine almond butter, coconut flakes, flaxmeal and cinnamon. Believe me, this is a terrific no-bake dessert and it’s actually a much healthier version that the regular thing.
9. Three Ingredient Healthy Peanut Butter Cups
Peanut butter cups, but much, much better for you. No extra sugar, no flavors, nothing. Just some dark chocolate, natural peanut butter and a little bit of maple syrup go into these delicious no-bake peanut butter cups.
10. Easy Peanut Butter Yogurt Bark
Well, you probably can tell I have a lot of peanut butter at home. Keep them for rainy days. On hot weather days, I make something like this easy peanut butter yogurt bark. It’s cool, it’s sweet, it’s a little bit like ice cream with fruit inside. Love it!
11. Double Chocolate No Bake Balls
These double chocolate energy bites can be a dessert too! They’re rich and super chocolatey with a soft texture. The ingredients include walnuts, almond butter, prunes and cacao. Super healthy and rich in antioxidants.
12. Healthy No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Bites
Soft and buttery on the inside, chocolatey on the outside, these chocolate bites taste like heaven! They’re the perfect healthier treat after lunch or dinner.
13. Easy Sweet Oatmeal Crepes
One of my favorite types of desserts are crepes! I usually get my dose at breakfast, but nothing beats a good crepe for dessert either. These are made healthier by using oats instead of flour and they are perfect. You can fill them with whatever you desire.
For dessert, whenever I’m a bit more motivated to cook, I love to fill mine with some caramelized banana (just chop a banana and stir it with some coconut oil for 2-3 minutes in a nonstick pan), chopped roasted almonds and a little bit of whipped cream. Or even ice cream if I have some in the fridge. Such a delicious easy dessert that requires no oven.
I hope you enjoy this collection of delicious, healthier and easy no-bake desserts!
