73 Easy Dessert Recipes for When You Don’t Want a Project
We love making a weekend project out of an elaborate cake or pastry, but having a few easy dessert recipes ready to fire is crucial for those moments when we get a sudden sugar craving or we want to end dinner on a sweet-and-simple note. For situations like these, we turn to something semi-homemade or otherwise no-fuss: Ice cream made in a resealable plastic bag, one big deliciously gooey chocolate chip cookie baked in a skillet, or pastries that make the most out of our favorite freezer staple (spoiler: It’s frozen puff pastry).
In this collection of easy dessert recipes, we’re asking the important questions. Why fuss over flaky pastry when you can make a press-in cookie crust in a fraction of the time? Why use more than one bowl to mix cake batter? Why churn ice cream from scratch when you could make calm, cool, collected semifreddo? Scroll on for your new favorite quick, easy, and delicious desserts.
